    If they overpaid people who are struggling for money, and who have no choice but to spend that money, then that’s their problem. They need to correct the amounts in the future, suck it up and take the loss. I’m sure someone in the organization can be blamed and reprimanded.

    We can take the excess out of the military budget, and try harder next time to make sure the math is right.

    It isn’t as if these people were caught attempting to scam the system and they also happen to be a vulnerable part of the population, one that relies on the very system that is screwing them now.

    We can bail out billion dollar companies and banks but we can’t forgive these peoples’ debts.

    The answers shouldn’t be “we’re reviewing our policies” and “they may have misinterpreted a law. I’ll look into it.” There is no definite good solution or a plan of any substance in any of that.
