    I’m glad they didn’t go after the smaller criminals, such as the CEO’s and Board of Directors of AIG or any other large corporation that has received our bailout money. That $49K will come in handy to get our country back in tip top shape. I wonder what Obama plans on doing with this wealth? Maybe take the B.O.D.’s and CEO’s out for a nice dinner to celebrate.

    Baxtor, out of the 150 billion we have already sunk into that cesspool called New Orleans, you can bet at least 80 billion of that was fraud. Big enough for you? The size of the crime does not matter. It is still a crime. The rotting of our morals in this country is spreading and is getting worse everyday, especially with a CIC spewing that everybody is entitled.

    It says that she stole $60,200 and had to pay back only $49,458 leaving a nice profit of $10,742 for which she has to pickup trash for 200 hours. That’s $53.71 an hour! At that rate and 40 hours a week times 52 weeks a year she is making the equivalent of $111,716.80 for her crime! That’s as good as some mid level managers make on Wall Street these days! How is that fair… or is my math wrong?

    This woman is one of thousands I’m sure.

    Remember when Iowa and the other mid west states were flooded a year or two after Katrina? I saw on the news all the people filling and stacking sand bags. Well, I emailed FEMA and asked if these flood victims were going to receive government issued debit cards and other assistance. Their answer? NO.

    I guess the New Orleaneans ruined it for everyone by commiting fraud.

    Math is wrong:

    It says that she stole $60,200 and had to pay back only $49,458 leaving a nice profit of $10,742 for which she has to pickup trash for 200 hours. That’s $53.71 an hour (I really don’t know how much they make picking up trash, but I’ll stick with your amount)! At that rate and 40 hours a week times 20 weeks (200 hours is 20 weeks if it she does 40 hours a week)a year she is making the equivalent of $42,968 which is less than what she stole for her crime!
