F.E.M.A.

It does not help the fact that the people of the Hurricane Katrina were hit by the hurricane; suffered severe flooding, heat, hunger, and poor living conditions; select victims were given opportunities to start over while thousands were crowded into trailers and left to "fend" for themselves. But what tops all of this is the fact that $85 million dollars worth of supplies and food that were designated for the Katrina victims were not given to the people that needed it.

$85 million dollars of supplies that F.E.M.A. was supposed to give the other people hit by Katrina in 2005. It is now 2008. THREE YEARS, THREE and yet no one is getting the help that they so desperately needed. All these supplies and all F.E.M.A does is give it away. What in the world is going on.

Why aren't the Katrina Victims getting these items? It has been three years and now the government is telling the people that are living in the government trailers that they need to leave and find somewhere else to live because the government no longer wants to care for its own people. The conditions have been horrible and they haven't changed. The government has moved out and tried to bury its "untouchables." The Super Dome has long been repaired and people have moved back to rebuild. But the people in this government, sub-standard trailer, have been removed from the public eye. At first glance into these area where the government thought that it was helping, it looks like a third world country.

F.E.M.A spent more than $1 million a year to store these supplies that the people needed. So for 2 years the supplies sat taking up space, not being used for what it was set up for.

Why does F.E.M.A. exist? If this government program does not do the job that it has been set-up to do then why does it exist. It's for people to become rich off of the struggles and pains of others. Some high F.E.M.A director is probably pulling in a six figure income while the ones that should be served get what they need. It is like the rich stealing from the worse than poor.

Maybe some people have been helped by F.E.M.A.'s actions of simply giving away these supplies. I would think that they have been distributed fairly. But this is not true because fair would have been to give to the people that this was set up for: KATRINA VICTIMS.

The government has done things much worse, like dumping these same people and leaving them for dead, and yes we've all seen the pictures and video all over television but nevertheless the government will continue to create worthless causes to fight. We are still fighting in a pointless war aren't we?
