You don't have to raise taxes, just quit giving money to the deceased. Over 600 MILLION dollars paid out to DEAD people. You don't need a job, just a dead relative from Washington. Is there no one checking on our federal employees in DC ? The Washington Post reports that the Office of Personnel Management has NOT done a good job of tracking payments to beneficiaries. Da, they sent out 600 Million to dead retired federal workers. These people and their bosses should all be on the unemployment line and the people receiving the money should be held accountable for returning it. So much for Honesty in America. Trust me, no matter who you are or what you've done, someday it will be required to explain it. Then, WHAT WILL YOU SAY? Good Luck with that!
