Documented for those Right Wing Son of a Bitches who fail to grasp the intentional harm placed on the neediest of our fellow HUMAN BEINGS.
http://www.cnn.com/2006/US/01/30/katrina.fema/"The Interior Department offered FEMA 500 rooms, 119 pieces of heavy equipment, 300 dump trucks and other vehicles, 300 boats, 11 aircraft and 400 law enforcement officers, according to a questionnaire answered by a department official.
Interior law enforcement officers included special agents and refuge officers from the department's Fish and Wildlife Service.
"Although we attempted to provide these assets, we were unable to efficiently integrate and deploy these resources," an Interior Department official wrote the Senate committee investigating the government's response to Katrina."Let me please add that I have worked my ASS off trying to facilitate locally funded housing vouchers for the truly destitute (I mean the Elderly, the Disabled, the Emotionally Devistated) displaced Gulf Residents in NC. It's been a nightmare for me which PALES when compared with what those unfortunate fellow PEOPLE (Ie. COMRADES, dammit, that word needs to be LEARNED by Amerikans) have had to deal with. I'm just a dipshit local planner that's had to convince my bosses that money that could be used for our OWN evil problem caused by our scumbag economic/political system creates, and ignores, INTENTIONALLY.
FEMA has been a nightmare to deal with. They've intentionally (Don't tell me it's incompetance because I KNOW that their regional people have been give shitty ordres, period. It's top down you fools) forced relocation actions on Local governments hundreds of miles away with the promise of future reimbursement.
Fuck Bush and the evil mother fuckers that placed him in POWER.
