Oh your tax dollars at work in New Orleans!
Should we start counting up the tax dollars wasted in New Orleans?
While the Bush administration was faulted for not acting fast enough, the local goverment failed to act at all, leaving a parking lot full of buses sitting there instead of getting people out.
Don't panic - I'm not just defending the Bush administration - hold on!
FEMA actually spent a ton of tax payer $$s to bring in a cruise ship for suddenly homeless people to stay on. Very few people stayed on the boats, and the Cruise Line got THEIR cash no matter what.
Now we are finding out that quite a bit of the cash handed out to people to shelter and feed these guys was spent on porn, guns, booze, and massages!
We haven't even gotten to the BIG SCAM that is still coming, which it the act of handing over all that projected money to the local documentedly corrupt goverment for rebuilding New Orleans without so much as an over-seer to make sure the money is going to be used wisely!
:shock: Just a 'feel-good' story for you to think about here at tax time!
