New Orleans: “How Much Can We Take?”
Sadly, FEMA is asking the same question.
“In the neighborhood President Bush visited right after Hurricane Katrina, the U.S. government gave $84.5 million to more than 10,000 households. But Census figures show fewer than 8,000 homes existed there at the time.
Now the government wants back a lot of the money it disbursed across the region.
The Federal Emergency Management Administration has determined nearly 70,000 Louisiana households improperly received $309.1 million in grants, and officials acknowledge those numbers are likely to grow.”
That’s a lot of lap dances.

I am a Louisiana conservative. This is so distant from what I see with my own eyes. As of the last report less than 500 people have received aid out of over 100,000 citizens that requested aid to rebuild their homes. This is esp. disgusting since their homes and lives were destroyed by governmental neglience. Read this article to get an idea of how well this government has aided its citizens.

Is this the government you want? It is not what I voted for. And it is NOT what I will be voting for in the future.
