No Zipcode? No State? No problem!

In the "they want to run health care?!" category, the Franklin Center released a study on WatchDog.org that details the phantom districts that have received federal stimulus money.

The report found that all but 12 states in the union have a non-existent zip code receiving stimulus money:

American Recovery and Reinvestment Act pumped more than $375 million into 170 other ZIPs that do not exist, according to a national study of the Recovery.gov website compiled by Kansas Watchdog reporter Earl Glynn. The site reports the funds created 470 jobs at a cost of about $800,000 each in the phantom ZIP Codes.

Don't worry, though, the mainstream media is on the case.  As the report notice states, "The phantom ZIP codes listed on Recovery.gov do not necessarily reflect stimulus fraud or misuse. An AP fact check found that funds sent to phantom districts were accounted for, even if congressmen were not."

Thank God.  This is just becuase of a handfull of typos.   The people handling multi-million dollar transfers of taxpayer wealth aren't necessarily committing fraud, they're just incompetent.
