Bureaucracy…the gift that keeps on giving

What the hell is wrong here. I read this article about FEMA giving away $85 million in supplies intended for the Hurricane Katrina victims and I wanted to curse. The video is of the CNN interview is here.

Debra Reed lived in a tent after Katrina and says she needed the supplies given away by FEMA.

How does something like this happen? It just seems like there should be more common sense in government. If you are aware that you have $85 million of supplies thats been sitting in storage for 2 years, why wasn’t the question asked “How can we get this to the Katrina victims?” People who are American citizens. People who have paid their taxes to help sustain the same agencies that are neglecting them now.

The hypocrisy is nauseating. Republicans are always talking about patriotism and the love they have for their country. Democrats claim that they are fighting for the hard working whi-uhh, Americans. So if both parties, full of public servants that are here for us, How did this occur?

Somebody, please school me.
