Phantom Zip Codes Also Found In Virginia

As much as $9.5 million in federal stimulus dollars went to 14 zip codes in Virginia that don’t exist or are in other states, Old Dominion Watchdog (http://virginia.watchdog.org) reports. The fake zip codes were listed on Recovery.gov, the federal Web site that is supposed to track how the stimulus money is being used.

The phony zip codes are a new wrinkle in Recovery.gov’s increasingly tattered credibility. In November, Ed Pound, director of communications for the Recovery Accountability and Transparency Board, said a rash of phantom congressional districts found on the website were the result of confusion by fund recipients, who apparently didn’t know who their congressman was.

But who would give millions of dollars to somebody who doesn’t even know their own zip code?

Sure - because none of you have ever typed your zip code incorrectly.

Right...

When are people going to realize the government doesn't make mistakes.

This is embezzlement. This is what it looks like.

The Christmas underwear bomber didn't sneak through either. His connections with the CIA were not goof ups. This is a false flag terror event. This is what it looks like.

The war of terror is fake.

The banks collapse is a planned event. They created fake instruments of "investments" and then cried for money.

Our government is composed of criminals.

You can thank Joe Biden for his typically inept job performance. He's supposed to be the watchdog on this program and responsible for reporting on the accomplishments. This entire administration is a joke, a VERY expensive joke that we will be paying for for decades.We all know now how much this administration has lied. This should no longer be a surprise.

The question is: WHAT ARE WE GOING TO DO ABOUT IT?

But lets turn over our HEALTHCARE to the incompetent "jobs for life" government workers and have all of our most intimate health records and info ON LINE.

8:56... you honestly think that you can obtain millions of dollars from the government by filling out paperwork that only requires you to type a zip code once??? In order to get a car loan I have to verify my address multiple times... and this happened 14 times over??? You can't honestly believe that this was a typo. If you do, you have my deepest sympathy for your brain damage.
