Ask the patients at the VA about medical test. Those poor guys who were told they had a death sentence only to find out later it was an error.

Yeah, that’s what I want.

Nice. Taxpayers like me get shafted on our checks, but felons collect.

These inmates probably are ACORN workers. My guess is that ACORN workers all got money from the stimulus as a thank you and keep up the good work incentive.

wonderful .. just wonderful
it’s okay because the new “environmental czar”
the guy who went to jail twice himself and is a self admitted communist

he is setting up job ready “green” jobs for inmates who get right out of prison anyway.
Might as well start padding the payroll now ...

Felons have big screen TVs, free meals, free healthcare, free housing, etc.

The government spends more on Felons’ lifestyle than I spend on mine.
