The Federal Emergency Management Agency is beginning a plan to waive debts for thousands of victims of Hurricane Katrina and other disasters.
An aide to Sen. Mary Landrieu who has been briefed by FEMA says the agency will mail out roughly 90,000 letters next week to inform disaster victims that they may be eligible for waivers.

And at the bottom of the letter:
PS - Please remember us in November.
I thought we already gave them all $2000 debit cards so they could go to strip joints and buy booze and cigarettes and drugs ???
“Don’t hav to worry bout the mortgage; don’t hav to pay for gas for my car.”
Joplin, Missouri residents lost everything - are those citizens (Caucasians) going to receive the same benefit from the Federal Government. What say you?
LLS
have never seen a sitting president buy an election outright like this kenyan monster.
Reparations for non-slaves that Bath-House Barry will MAKE slaves to the gubmint..
But democrats also know an opportunity to pander when they see it. Using a natural disaster as an opportunity to do some wealth redistribution and vote buying is just business as usual for them.
There is nothing too slime covered for this administration.
Will the federal government expend public funds to fight Hurricane Katrina (2005) longer than it put the Army in Iraq (2003-2011)? Why? The hurricane dissipated, but the Islamofascists continue to gain strength. Why do we cease to fight the latter?
Not all “Hurricane Katrina survivors” are the dregs you saw on TV. People forget that the Mississippi Gulf Coast was where the hurricane actually hit. I’m a “Katrina survivor” and I never got a debit card or anything else from the government except some bags of ice and bottled water.
Last year, the agency sent out debt notices in an effort to recover more than $385 million it says was improperly paid to victims of hurricanes Katrina, Rita and Wilma in 2005.
Officials said people are eligible for waivers if they earn less than $90,000 a year and a FEMA error was responsible for the improper payment.
So, if you earn less than $90K and you defrauded the government then... no biggie....*thud*
This looks like a way to repopulate Louisiana with dem voters. Louisiana has been shunned since it replaced Blanco with Bobby. Watch out Texas and Arizona.
Do not forget the tatoos. A friend of mine had a tattoo parlor on the coast. He never did so much business in his life as in the immediate aftermath of Katrina.
When I ask her about it she just looks at me and shakes her head in disgust. Her disgust may not be as strong as mine is.
And, we in Texas took in thousands of Katrina people and there were some real doozies.......dancing down the middle of the boulevards in goofy clothes, doing MIME in front of the quick stop stores so that you hesitated to go into them at night......Take them back N.O.!
Houston is still suffering from the all the New Orleans
criminals it took in.

Don’t step in the “chocolate”

I had a hard time getting to your reply box!
I’m surprised many didn’t flock back to N.O. the way FEMA has doled out the goodies.
On the other hand, Texas treated them pretty good too. Remember the huge increase in designer handbags the ‘refugees’ were buying with doled out money?
