And why did anyone think that was going to help? Well now the damage has been done. What's next? Continue the blame game, or help rebuild our nation?

The idea had some merit, it was quick way to get cash in the hands of the hurricane victims. But as we found out the minuses outweighed the pluses. I can only hope that a different plan has been worked out for the next time something like this happens. The problem last time is the process was rushed.

It's been a year and a half since Katrina and New Orleans hasn't done a thing to help themselves. I was there three weeks after Katrina hit to settle claims and trying to help and all I got was spit on by the locals. If anyone wants to know why New Orleans is the crime capital of America with a highest murder rate of any major city in the world just take a trip down there and see for yourself. Their mayor should be in prison. Talk about corruption, that scum bag is the king of crime. All those people want is a hand out, not a helping hand.

Not heard about that one but where was the Govt. and why was their response so slow? $1000 debit cards will not help, it was a disgraceful lack of leadership and an abandonment of citizens. All, the same the majority weren't white middle class Americans so why would the govt care

It was a bandaid fix. And the blame game was a diversionary tactic. And the rebuilding of America will always take second place (or third) to the political agendas of a President who doesn't care for his nation.
