Is this a campaign issue? FEMA losing a Billion plus of your money?
So FEMA mismanaged the funds, gave money out to people who did not need it or shouldn't have qualified for aid...And I am being nice here, I am not going to talk about FEMA giving out no bid contracts to people who know people in high places, who never delivered on the goods promised...

To quote Dr. Dean, I would love to see the DNC and other Dems. running for office produce ads, to run on all TEE VEEs of the white (GOP voters) people in the South who drive around in trucks with confederate flags, and tell them to their face, that THEIR BELOVED government LOST THEIR money, that the GOP congress and BushCo. are shitty managers...etc.

This is example number 60 thousand, where the Bush administration lost the people's money, the GOP congress is not saying anything about it !!!

Simpletons all over the country should be able to understand this, right?

1. I doubt it
Here, most think it was just trying to help too many people too quickly without the ability to check information.
I doubt it's that useful.

2. ABC news has covered the Katrina billion$ and Iraq trillion$ losses
There have been some enlightening stories on ABC evening news recently about the massive amounts of federal money given away, unaccounted for or stolen due to fraud, lack of oversight and mismanagement by this administration. Democrats should be talking more about this news to convince Americans that Dems can do a better job.

3. I thought they put this story out to divert
attention from the crap job they are doing and how they have basically handed money over to contributors for services not rendered. Another scape-goating of the poor and black.
