Democrats keep demanding we talk more about the Katrina disaster. You would think that the continued exposure of the total failure of Democrat socialism and corruption in New Orleans would not be in their best interest. But I don't mind helping them anyway.
Katrina "Victims" Fraud Scandal:
From Inter Press: The report presented by the Government Accountability Office (GAO) suggests that the 2.3-billion-dollar programme to provide emergency relief money for evacuees was a victim of extensive fraud.
The GAO's examination of the Expedited Assistance programme determined that FEMA failed to take even the most basic steps to confirm the identifies of about 1.4 million people who sought urgent cash assistance, leaving the system vulnerable to the "significant fraud and abuse."
The report says FEMA itself found that 900,000 of the 2.5 million applications for all forms of individual assistance were "potential duplicates."
...
Testimony charged that much of the money disbursed by FEMA was inappropriately used -- for such things as bail bonds, payment of prior traffic violations, driver's license reinstatement, tattoos, massage parlors, alcoholic beverages, condoms, and adult erotica products.
