FEMA...you are in good hands....
Katrina is costing us between 100 and 200 billion dollars. FEMA may have got a late start but they have opened up the bank and are handing out money by the fist full....can you say front-end loader. I have friends who had roof and water damage--covered by insurance-- and some loss of income who are getting $90K in relief...plenty of money for that European Vacation.
I see three problems: 1. It's morally corrupt to pay victims of one tragedy large amounts of relief money and not pay ALL victims. If your going to be in a disaster be sure it a high profile one or you're shit out of luck. Just ask anyone who has lost their house to fire. 2. We are using borrowed money to pay for this relief and no one ever mentions the cost of interest on this money or how and when it will be paid back. It's INSANE...WE ARE NOT PAYING FOR THIS...OUR KIDS ARE! 3. What the hell ever happened to personal responsibility???
