This should be an outrage, but it just seems so status quo any more.

I'd rather payments go to dead American farmers than fraudulent tax refunds going to illegal immigrants.

How about the payments go back to the folks it was stolen from in the beginning. I think that would be the way to go.

Add this to the Pigford scandal that still hasn't gotten much air time. That vote buying scheme cost over 1 billion through fraudulent payments.
