$120 Million Paid To Dead Federal Retirees

A new report highlighting federal incompetence blasts the Office of Personnel Management for wasting millions of dollars of tax payer funds.

[WAPO] In the last five years, the Office of Personnel Management has made more than $601 million in payments to dead federal retirees, according to the agency’s inspector general. Total annual payouts range between $100 million and $150 million.

The government will never earn the respect of tax payers, no matter which party, if this kind of incompetence is allowed to continue. 

This story is reminscent of the story we posted last year about the IRS paying refunds to graveyard voters.
