The Internal Revenue Service doled out $4 billion dollars to identity thieves

The Internal Revenue Service doled out $4 billion dollars to identity thieves in 2011, by sending millions of fraudulent tax refunds to people who used stolen Social Security numbers.

Good work, guys! http://finance.yahoo.com/news/irs-fl...101500577.html

This is the latest in a string of management problems resulting in waste and abuse at the IRS due to the agency’s lax oversight. Here are a few others:
•IRS targets Tea Party non-profits by denying 501(c)(4) status.
•IRS wastes millions on bizarre training videos
•IRS contractors owe $5.4 million in back taxes
•IRS overpaid low-income tax credit by $132 billion
•IRS defies Obama directive, awards $70 million in bonuses
•IRS Execs Spend $1 Million “Commuting” to Work
•Scandal-Scarred IRS Blew $50 Million on Meetings

The people and their comments, LOL.
