All this money for Americans displaced by Katrina, and Rita and for the FEMA workers.
The total is staggering, and it appears, FEMA and the Bush Administration wanted to just get the people out of shelters, because it made Bush look bad, but the imported workers, are doing work, that the displaced workers could of done, and kept the economy coming back strong with there very displaced labor.
Now Mayor Nagin wanting the people to come back looks like the right move was ignored, and shipping the very talent, and labor force, with a greatest stake in rebuilding, and recovering, and rescuing there neighbors, was called crazy.
Lets look at the people and there talents, the gulf coast has teachers and all the labor to run a school…GONE, Civil administrative workers…GONE, private business workers… GONE, construction worker, of all types…GONE, every kind of talent needed to restore the Hurricane ravaged areas in the entire Gulf Coast. And not just GONE, shipped to the four corners of the country, and remember for reason yet completely unknown to some, these very people were left behind for so long, when it came time to get out, they were so grateful to leave many vowed to never come back to the scene of there nightmare.
And now today 10/17/05 10:48:43 PM, Americas hear on the cable news channels ALL the money being spent in ways that are so egregious as to make no bid contracts, and the out and nout Carpet bagging seem to be planned. America goes deeper into debt, and every firm hired by FEMA, gets filthy rich, and the people get screwed, mortgages, and homeowners, lose everything, renters are out in the cold, and have no voice, not even in elections. And many are paying for homes that have been destroyed.
This is a disaster happening right in front of Americas face, and it’s business as usual for bectel, Haliburton. Not one congressman is saying a word, especially on Bushes side of the congress, all GONE quiet.
$11,000.000 Million a week, and $11,000.000 million a month… AMERICA wake up, say loudly, and continuously… I’ am not going to take this. It’s time to change course… GONE.
You say there was no way to house the people displaced, right, but you could of told them that you people are the ones who are going to be put to work, recovering your homes, and all the money FEMA, and the STATE, and the CITY is going to spend is to help you recover, and we need your help, in other words, the Authorities should of sent them with a positive proviso, that there leaving was temporary, and there travel was being kept to a minimum, so they labor, talents, and voice will be mandatory, but the only thing they were told was there was am mandatory evacuation… but to where, to what.
Ask the Gulf Coasters, were you told you were needed back in your states, or back in there citys, especially now that the FEMA money is here, we want to pay you, who have are displaced residents, are exactly what is needed to rebuild.
