A report out today shows how wasteful and incomprehensibly irresponsible FEMA was in giving away money post-Hurricane Katrina.
The improper payments, which a Governmental Accountability Office report estimated ranged from $600 million to $1.4 billion, included funds sent to people who used United Parcel Service stores, post-office boxes and cemeteries as their addresses. FEMA also provided millions of dollars of housing aid to prison inmates, the GAO says in the report.
``We expected it, but we didn't expect it on this magnitude,'' Representative Michael McCaul, chairman of a House homeland security investigations panel, said yesterday. ``It's an assault on the American taxpayer.''
Nice. Bet they don't follow through on catching the bad guys, replacing the unworkable system, or making amends.
The stages of awareness of government ineptitude:
DENIAL
RAGE
SADNESS
ACCEPTANCE
Where are you? I am at RAGE.
