TheBanyanTree: Get it Right ( a note about Katrina and FEMA)

[NancyIee at aol.com]

I don't know if it's made the National news, but it's becoming common 
knowledge around here (Florida) that some of our neighbors in nearby states, those 
hit by Katrina, Rita, and whatever else storm seemed to have pounded the Gulf 
Coast, are getting undeserved aid.

Jus' cause a state is declared a disaster and those living there can get 
money or help, doesn't mean that EVERYONE should.  A few folks are getting money 
merely by being in a given zip code, even those who had no damage or loss. All 
they do is fill out the proper forms, and lo, the money is sent.

Seems to me that only those suffering loss should apply and get the money. 
There are so many needing help, that the govt can't check up on every claim, and 
so there are folks out there defrading, taking money meant for those without 
homes or homes too ravaged to live in.

Bah-humbug.
