“Breathtaking” Waste and Fraud in Hurricane Aid
The New York Times is reporting (behind their firewall) up to $2 billion in fraud and waste represents nearly 11 percent of the $19 billion spent by FEMA on Katrina and Rita as of mid-June, or about 6 percent of total money that has been obligated. The government nornally estimates a fraud and waste of 1 to 3 percent.
Ok, I know we don’t live in a perfect world and there will also be sick people that find a way to work the system, but come on, $2 billion in fraud and waste. I guess I should have picked up on this earlier in my life, but our government is totally useless.
