Millions of Katrina aid wasted & stolen
What is wrong with people???? Even Red Cross employees schemed to steal money, although the organization has been able to recoup over $8 million and has promises of repayment from others in "installment" plans.
As for money being wasted, I have to agree that to subsidize evacuees to stay in $438/night rooms is ridiculous. Although the government may not be entirely blame for the rates since they were supposed to receive "contractor" rates, which must be considerably lower.

Yet another reason to fire everyone in government from FEMA on up, tossing in the Haliburtons and Enron's of the world, and also adding some charities.
Power and money corrupts absolutely.
The lure of free money is very powerful. We even had people here, in Sacramento, almost 2,000 miles from New Orleans, getting checks for "disaster relief". They just applied and somehow got approved.
I guess I'm in the wrong business, cuz it looks like there's an easier way to earn a living than working.
