Somebody has made a bundle of money once again off the government and I wouldn't be a bit suprised to find out that the owners of the companies are cronies of some powerful politicians.

No laughing matter here, people are still in need, how can this be happening? Where is the so call people who want to be in charge, and why are they doing nothing. Again start firing people until we get to ones who will get it done. What shame to deal with red tape and greed while people suffer.

As corrupt as Louisiana and the GOP are, the culture of corruption is significantly worse over here.

The Federal Emergency Management Agency promised the evacuees from Hurricanes Katrina and Rita that they will still receive federal rent assistance that they can put toward hotel stays or other housing.
