That’s how much the federal and state governments overpaid unemployment benefits in 2011. In other words, more than 1 out of every 10 approvals was invalid. This is who is now in charge of your health care. Doesn’t that give you a warm and tingly feeling?
Even worse is governments’ inability to catch even gross errors. That is fueled largely by the fact that government employees are seldom held accountable for anything — remember the mocking videos by GSA employees? But fear not: VP Biden is on the job, and will no doubt no just as spectacular a job as he did on policing stimulus funds.
