And now they're running health care!

I still don't see why we should give people $8000 to buy a house they can't afford, but our generous-with-other people's-money government (headed by Obama) has decided that's a good idea. In fact, it's such a good idea, that at least 1300 prison inmates jumped on the opportunity and got their $8000 tax refund. Some of them even bought the same house -- over and over again. One house was used 67 times. But convicts weren't the only ones. Investigators also found that 87 IRS employees had cheated us taxpayers. And that doesn't count all the children who bought homes.

"This is very troubling," said J. Russell George, the Treasury Department's inspector general for tax administration. Gee, ya think?
