Thanks to stimulus money, Democrats are hoping to sweep the zombie vote
Our guess is that all the “stimulus” in the world isn’t going to help these people. The Treasury began sending checks to thousands of dead people this week.
Here’s how Fox News reports it:
Antoniette Santopadre of Valley Stream was expecting a $250 stimulus check. But when her son finally opened it, they saw that the check was made out to her father, Romolo Romonini, who died in Italy 34 years ago. He’d been a U.S. citizen when he left for Italy in 1933, but only returned to the United Stated for a seven-month visit in 1969.
The Santopadres are not alone. The Social Security Administration, which sent out 52 million checks, says that some of those checks mistakenly went to dead people because the agency had no record of their death. That amounts to between 8,000 and 10,000 checks for millions of dollars.
The feds blame a rushed schedule, because all the checks have to be cut by June. The strange this is, some of the checks were made out to people — like Romonini — who were never even part of the Social Security.
Money for dead people? Considering how many of them show up on voter roles, this just looks like another case of Democrats rewarding their constituents.

they do that a lot in Chicago…wait, our president is from chicago…now it all makes sense. I bet they were using voter lists instead of social security lists.
If the dollar depreciates any further you could say “they are sending dead money to stimulated people.”
