+ report abuse

EXACTLY what in the wide wide world of sports are you talking about? This isn''t about the poor getting money they need or about victims of a very bad storm being able to use temporary housing you MORON. This is about OUR government totally abusing their charge to oversee OUR money. You have got to be a Bush Cultist, finding excuses and trying to direct blame... IT didn''t work if thats the case.

FEMA Has once again proved itself as a troublesome agency which can not act properly and this is a Management problem.

Fire them all and replace them, sweep the halls clear and start over or scrub the agency and start a different one for they are incapable of ethical behavior.

Worthless and abusive

And take a look at the public auctions of those FEMA trailers. They are disgusting. Absolutely destroyed by the residents. There is no excuse. They repaid kindness with utter abuse and destruction.

FEMA misspent 13M.
Former renters, freeloaders and bums from LA misspent 1B after Katrina.

Look at the census data from 2000. Most of LA residents were renters.

The Bush administration was coherced by a liberal public to bend over backwards to accommodate the residents of LA in what was clearly a sad situation. And the taxpayers once again pick up the tab of the abusers.

Is it ok that more than half the funds were misused by the public so that the remainder actually did some good? Is that price tag worth it?

I don''t think the rest of the country wants LA rebuilt so it might once again need a country bailout.

"Once again, FEMA has proven to be a poor steward of taxpayer money. In order to regain the public''s trust, FEMA must ensure that this type of wasteful spending never occurs again," said Rep. Bennie Thompson, D-Miss.,"

In order to regain the public''s trust, FEMA''s top brass must spend time in Leavenworth for corruption, their assets seized, and punitive damages awarded to the fund, which should then be distributed to those who were entitled to, but denied benefits.
