Katrina Fraud

Recommended Posts

My question is why do we hear so much about all this fraud going on but not about any prosecutions or people getting jail time? Are federal officials wetting their pants about the prospect of putting Katrina leeches behind bars for fear of getting Jesse Jackson and his ilk all upset?

They are embarrassed because they effed up? IMO, the could have prevented most of this fraud.

Yeah. I bet if they put Haliburton in charge of the contract, all would have been well with the world.

Sorry, couldn't help myself.

 

Back to reality, Steff, I do completely agree with you. Its amazing how poorly the response to Katrina was managed at all levels, from day 1, and still continues.

It's one thing to spend company money to go to subway for lunch every now and then. It's whole other story to pull this crap. Your government dollars at work.

 

On a whole other side note: I have a friend who has been to Iraq and I heard stories from another guy.... you'd be SHOCKED to find out how much money is waisted over there. It's a rediculous!

I believe the amount of money unaccounted for in Iraq is roughly enough to rebuild NOLA's entire Levee system. And that's just the stuff that's gone missing from the old UN Oil for Food dollars, not even counting the $ that the U.S. has shipped over.

And mybe we'd be able to look for that missing Iraq money if GWB hadn't made a signing statement basically saying that the Inspector General coildn't audit or investigate any missing or misspent Defense money.
