Do what thy manhood bids thee do,
From none but self expect applause:
He noblest lives and noblest dies
Who makes and keeps his self-made laws."

Federal Government Still Spending for Civil War, Spanish-American War
Submitted by Melinda L. Secor on Sun, 2013-03-24 00:00
"The federal government won’t say who they are, but in 2013 two people still get government payments for the U.S. Civil War, which ended nearly 150 years ago. No government official made that information public. It only emerged as the result of an investigation of federal payment records by the Associated Press, which also found that 10 people are still receiving federal government benefits for the Spanish-American War, which ended more than 100 years ago, at a cost of some $50,000 a year."

The government has been defrauding the American People since its inception. Why should anyone be supprised. I would personally like to know where the money is really going and have them do something about it in the least.
