I watched the hearing and that's not what happened. Nagin and Blanco were warned by FEMA, yet they didn't agree with each other.

exactly, i too have been watching the hearings...this will all come out if not at this hearing but at a private investigation that the Dems want...the state and mayor dropped the ball big time, and then she goes crying like a little girl instead of leading the state and taking charge...... :disapp:

and to the ladies, you know, or at least you should know, that i am the most pro-women person on this forum....but i will not hesitate to call it like it is...so dont think im some male chavonistic

Wrong Brown now working as consultant to FEMA on taxpayer dime

FEMA is a FEDERAL group!!! Who pays government salaries?!?!?!? TAXPAYERS

(that would be us)!!!!!!

It doesnt matter if he is now the janitor for FEMA, he copped out like everyone else down there, looking for a scapegoat, and who else better to blame than the President? Stop arguing the miniscule details man...

Jack knows what hes talking about. Jetski... not so much. Jetski, i know you spark conversation, but not everything is the "government's" fault. That is too easy. TOO EASY! you might as well blame "society" (another overused and conviently vague term) when a stray dog craps in your yard.

It's funny how he gets so worked up about this, yet he never takes the time to go back and look at the millions (billions over the years) of dollars thrown away on pork.

I don't care what anyone says....I actually find jetski entertaining. They should reinstate him over at the CF. All of his aliases. :lol:

I might actually start a campaign if I didn't think it would get locked in about 5 seconds.... :willy: :lol:

Wow, here is a thread that could get ugly real fast, but here goes. I have very mixed emotions on this one. I feel horrible for the people that lost everything, BUT what happens is exactly the reason people have insurance. If they couldn't afford insurance, well it is a chance you take by owning property on the coast, they knew it. I live in the Mid-West and I don't have tornado endorsement on my policy (will call and check today though) and I'm taking a similar gamble.

And I agree with Gas, 9/11 was a completely different scenerio and I don't think they can be compared.

Just my :2cents: , now flame on if you like it's just a conversation.

Exactly... you either have insurance or you don't!

Regardless of what you think of FEMA... the problem is SOLEY at the fault of the govenor and that A-hole major of N.O.

"Levee upgrade $$$ denied last five years under current administration "

that statement is complete bull**** :tt:

well since you want to bring up this bull****, the state of LA, has had over 2 billion dollars set aside over the years (15 or more), from the federal goverment (the last 3 or 4 presidents) and it has always managed to use that money for more important things like upgrading state owned buildings etc...the lack of upgrading the levies is not Bush's fault, it is the states fault and they are led by a bunch of numbskulls over the years.........

now why are you jumping subjects about how much the people in LA are getting compared to the people that died in 9/11...did you not forget that the victems families got the payoff (since the people had died) and that not one survivor from 9/11 got a dime...compared to the thousands that the people of LA are going to get for being left there by a stupid govoner and a numbskull mayor.....the blame is state wide...did fema make mistakes , yes,but those mistakes are pail in comparison to the mistakes the state and city made.....they had hundreds of busses that were underwater, and you can bet your ass they would have been used if this was an election, to cart old people to the polls....yet when the sick and the old needed those busses to save their lives, they just sat there, unused and people died...not because of the president or fema , but because of the govener of LA.....

again, dont post unless you have at least a clue to what your talking about,

This must be lie :lol: http://www.factcheck.org/article344.html
Also plenty of injured during 9/11 recieved government hand outs :crazy:
Average payout for injured $400K www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A57209-2004Nov17.html
Also once FEMA gets involved, FEMA takes lead on operation :dthumb:

Saint, post counts would go thru roof if I came back

Just think about it, when I started on CF had maybe 1000 members. When I left about 50,000 members.
Any forum I post to, view counts on my threads are high :cheers:

someone injured on 9/11, like i said about people suing privatly, is not the same as someone just losing their home in a flood and getting money from the goverment, so i will say it again, no one that was not killed , or sued privately got one red cent from 9/11 while those in new orleans will get thousands, even though they were not even hurt.........

I dont have to go to fact check.org...LA squandered billions of dollars that should have been put towards the levies over the last 15 years, to say Bush or the goverment didnt give them the money to repair them is complete bull****......

and if you want to start quoting the times for your anti bush crap, then ill start quoting Rush Limbaugh's site to refute everything you say......

Jack, government report says average payout $400K for those injured not killed in 9/11.
You are also forgetting the death count in NO. Did you also know Bush cut FEMA personel by over 20% after taking office. Plenty of screw ups by everybody down south. Major screw up poor planning, starting from the top with FEMA. In the end tax payer will be paying out $Billions to people who deserve it and those who donot :scratch:

again, let me spell it out to you....the money that was given to victems of 9/11 was given to the families so that they would not all sue the airlines that allowed the planes to be hijacked etc.....now for the poor joe blow that worked in the twin towers and got out alive and uninjured he received nothing...$000.00 from the goverment.....now the poor bastards from new orleans that got out in plenty of time and lost their home , or maybe didnt even lose their home, they have already received 2,000 debit cards from the goverment....

dont start going off subject and blaming bush for all your problems in life and that of the world...your post just wanted to say that the people of 9/11 got 2 million dollars and the poor folk in NO got hardly nothing...im just telling you your wrong and dont have a clue....
