I thought we already gave them all $2000 debit cards so they could go to strip joints and buy booze and cigarettes and drugs ???

Joplin, Missouri residents lost everything - are those citizens (Caucasians) going to receive the same benefit from the Federal Government. What say you?

I have never seen a sitting president buy an election outright like this kenyan monster.

It cuts both ways. Ask the residents of Joplin or the rest of the country how they feel about this

George Bush was a fool for the way he shovelled out the free stuff in Louisiana in the aftermath of Katrina.
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.

So these are waivers of demand for payment because these 'victims' received payments they weren't supposed to get
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.

Nit, I don't know if I ever told you that my one sister in law works for FEMA and has been down in New Orleans for a few years now. Doing what? Constantly handing out more and more aid and ‘stuff’ all these years.
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.!

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?
