I’ve made mention of this on some other blogs and decided to mention it here as well. The fraud that the government is having hearings on was predicted well in advance by both FEMA and the MSM. The urgency of the situation and the speed in which the moneys were distributed made it very difficult for FEMA (which stands for “Fix Everything My Ass”) to make sure people were legitimately qualified for the money. This fraud comes as no surprise and the fault lies with not only FEMA but obviously with the perps who committed the fraud. However all that will result in the congressional hearings will be a bunch of new stringent rules placed on FEMA which will slow distribution of funds to such a crawl that when the next major hurricane hits, people won’t be able to get emergency funds for months. And what will happen? The MSM will jump on that story forcing congresscritters to hold MORE hearings on why FEMA can’t get the money out quicker. It’s “damned if you you and damned if you don’t.”

Don’t blame Osama bin Laden – it’s all Bush’s fault! Don’t blame Hitler – it’s all the Jews’ fault! And don’t blame the MSM – it’s all the fault of those who did not conform to “inaccurate but true”!

Got it?

The Los Angeles Times Doesn’t Mind Ridiculous and Unacceptable Levels of Government Waste, Fraud and Abuse

This will warm your wallet this morning.
It comes from a Los Angeles Times Saturday editorial (may require registration) about widespread Katrina fraud, and why The Times not only doesn’t think it was so bad, but is also unfazed by unacceptable…

Well, let’s see if we can decypher the usual liberal mindset here:

“Well, you see, they were mostly poor and minoities, and you can’t expect people like that to really behave like responsible adults. It’s all our fault for oppressing them for years, so you really can’t expect them to look after themselves and make good decisions. It’s all the fault of white males who have dominated culture for centuries and repressed these people.”

There, white guilt, racial politics, and the “soft” racism the liberals are so fond of, all wrapped up in one place! Just more of the “you can’t expect them to act responsibly” and “you can’t expect them to learn” etc. etc. etc. that we hear every single day to excuse the most reprehensible types of behavior.

And FEMA, being a govt organization, will get blamed no matter what they do, particularly in a Republican administration. Either they aren’t throwing money at things fast enough, or they are giving too much money and not controlling it. It is, like just about everything the government gets involved with, a fiasco. And these are the same people who want the government responsible for all health care.

Nobody’s responsible for anything these days.

On a side note – if you can find the clip of Celine Dion from Larry King where she was talking about Hurricane Katrina give it a listen. It’s priceless

Americans are a sordid lot. Now imagine what would happen once Hillary Clinton implements her health care plan – is she still working on that? Already creaking under the strain of Medicare and Medicaid fraud, the U.S. treasury would collapse under the load of sickness and handouts that the saving grace of universal healthcare would encourage.
