This just made my day since I once had to pay PA back for unemployment money that ultimately should have been mine anyways. Yep, nothing but the best and brightest in government these days. Introducing the government's cash for cons program. BWAHAHAHAHAHA!
From the link:
DID YOU KNOW that Philadelphia prison inmates collected unemployment benefits while sitting in their cells?
They did: 1,162 of them got an average of $344 a week for, on average, 18 weeks. That's more than $7 million.
And many of the 25,500 inmates in other county jails in Pennsylvania did the same.
We're talking cash for cons - tens of millions of tax dollars paid by employers and employees fraudulently scammed by incarcerated crooks.
