Can you believe this FEMA crap?

Question

First off, there was an audit and they found some bogus reasons some ppl spent FEMA money. WHO CARES how the ppl spent their money if they were entitled to it?

NOW, they are saying FEMA is going to reduce helping future disaster vicitms out with cash. I can't believe this bologna.

My mother lost her home in 1999 to Hurricane Floyd and she did not receive 1 penny from FEMA. Why? Because she rented. She lost everything and because she didn't own her home, she got ZERO help from FEMA.

Ppl have no clue what it is like to wake up one day and everything in your home that you have acquired over years and years and years is gone.

GREED GREED GREED!!! Take a look at New Orleans pictures TODAY and ask yourself - "where have the billions of dollars gone to?" Some places look like the hurricane just hit yesterday.

That money didn't end up in victim's pockets. I saw on PBS that some contractors sub it down 9 times... It's going to BIG BUSINESS but future victims r being punished.

Answer 1

I agree completely. Your question brings up two things:
1. Corruption
2. How ppl are so easily persuaded.

It amazes me how the media manipulates ppl's minds. They are clearly trying to get ppl to blame the 'small' guy and to make them form an 'attitude' so that they can cut FEMA funds.

It's sad but the reality is that most ppl will fall for this and the real corruption will go unaccounted for... the big businesses that are getting 90% of the money.

Answer 2

Because we are headed for a police state and the FEMA camps are going to be turned into "concentration camps" for we who do not accept the NWO! Halliburton is also receiving big bucks to build said camps.

Funds disbursements from DHS to Halliburton to build human detention camps in the US
http://www.infowars.com/articles/ps/detention_camps_10_yr_plan_revives_proposals.htm
The Halliburton subsidiary KBR (formerly Brown and Root) announced on Jan. 24, 2006 that it had been awarded a $385 million contingency contract by the Department of Homeland Security to build detention camps. Two weeks later, on Feb. 6, Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff announced that the Fiscal Year 2007 federal budget would allocate over $400 million to add 6,700 additional detention beds (an increase of 32 percent over 2006).

Is this 'scare tactics'? If so, why is it not all over WaPo or somewhere. The article cites previous weird Ollie North plans.

Oh, and they even called it ENDGAME.

Answer 3

The innocent always pay for the crimes of others. Shoplifting causes prices to go up. You and I didn't steal it, but you and I pay for it. People scam their insurance companies. You and I pay higher premiums. This is nothing new. Who do you think pays for all the bankruptcies that are filed each year. You and me. Why are you so surprised? FEMA is not to blame. You failed to mention all the people who scammed FEMA, which, by the way, is a tax-funded organization. You and I were scammed. And now you and I will have less to show for it come the next hurricane. And as a Floridian, I find this as distressing as you. But not surprising.

Answer 4

Those people were not "entitled" to anything. The government was kind enough to give them a little money in order to put some clothes on their back and maybe even buy a cheap car to get back and forth to work. Their housing was paid by the government. There was such abuse of the funds, it's not hard to understand their decision to cut back, which really it isn't. They are going to be more discriminate in the future.

I'd hate to have been in those people's situations, God bless them. But at the same time, I would not have stood around waiting on my government to take of my every need for an indefinite period of time.

Answer 5

FEMA should'nt have to fix everything from a natural disaster. It's not the government's job. Sure, I feel for the people who got hit by Katrina, but if I want to help them it should be voluntary. I was in Pensacola when Ivan hit and there was tons of damage but not nearly so much whining.

Answer 6

One word for mommy dearest I-N-S-U-R-A-N-C-E. Shall the government send someone to help her inhale and exhale too.

It was not just people not spending it on what they "should" have as you are trying to insinuate. It was them filing 20-30 times.

In the rush to appease big mouths on the left - the scum of New Orleans took advantage of it to the tune of $1-$1.5 billion dollars of our money. Corruption in New Orleans? Nooooooooooooooooooo, what a colossal surprise.

Answer 7

I lived in Indianapolis at the time of Katrina, and the apartment complex I stayed at let 20 familys from N.O into different Apartments, nice huh...BUT, there where so many problems of theft, drugs, and abuse, a 2yr old boy died casue his father threw him to into a wall, they where from N.O. I had a neighbor, in a month, his front door was missing, he sold drugs, there was trash everywhere...
I say good grief to bad rubbish.
Spending tax money to buy drugs and crap.
The way I look at Katrina victims, you saw it coming, and youhad a chance to leave, cant afford to leave? Prepare yourself! Here in St. Louis Flood of 1992 we had no help...fu(k'em all!

Answer 8

Yes, giving poor people a lump sum of money is NEVER a good idea...hell giving ME a lump sum is not a good idea.

Answer 9

no i don't
