Here's a statement that may help put it in perspective for some of the terminally uninformed out here.

Nearly two years ago, Hurricane Katrina, aided by the construction of a substandard levee protection system, killed over 1,800 people, damaged 200,000 homes, and destroyed schools, hospitals, roads, bridges, parks, and forest lands. The government's response to one of the largest disasters in the nation's history has been ineffective and weak, and is a collective stain on the heart and soul of our nation. Of the 148,000 Louisianans who have applied for aid to rebuild their homes, only 30,000 have received grants, 86,000 Gulf Coast families are still living in FEMA trailers, and 750,000 residents remain displaced.

If only there were 1 or 2 decent ones in that 750,000 it would be totally different.

See the part about 148k grant applications & only 30k recieved? lets see if we really got $91,000,000,000.00 & 30k people got checks, thats $3,033,000.00 per person. I think that when the rest of the people get their checks things should be OK. There is a little disparity between what the govt is saying & what they are doing.
