When I first heard that the federal government was going to dole out Pre-Paid VISA cards with a two grand limit on them or in some cases, cut checks or do wire transfers to the 'victims' of Katrina, I silently screamed to myself, "NO-GIVE ME BACK MY TAX MONEY-MY ELECTED OFFICIALS AND THEIR SUBORDINATES ARE CLEARLY TOO STUPID TO BE LEFT IN CHARGE OF MY MONEY!"
ANYONE that couldn't see that this little government 'perk' wasn't going to be massively taken advantage of by the usual suspects is blind, deaf, and dumb. And yet there they go shucking it out like pennies from Heaven. You don't have to currently be in Louisiana, you just have to say that you lived there during Katrina and that your home was destroyed. HEEEEEERRRRE's your money!
Well, the Portland media is reporting that the FBI is hot on the trail of some folks that have taken advantage of the Katrina cash and so far the state with the highest number of people committing Katrina fraud... ... ... Oh c'mon ... ... ... Wait for it ... ... ... THAT'S RIGHT (ok, it's not right, but it's the way it is) OREGON!
It seems when asked what possible deterrent there was to keep people from committing this fraud a spokesperson said, "It's just not right." Oh OUCH! The Pain - please stop.
It's like putting a sign up in a jewelry store asking thieves nicely not to rob it.
Yes, they had skillfully broken into the allegedly impenetrable safe when Rocco noticed a sign on the vault wall that said, "Please don't rob our store - Thank you" The thieves immediately gathered up their tools and left the building as if they'd never been there without taking a dime because they were asked nicely not to.

This was as stupid as if the MAX train relied on the honor system for people to pay to get on. Oh wait...
Greg, This is way off topic. I saw on a post from Daniel's website, that you were in the auto industry at some level. I have to write a research paper, my topic is about the possible collapse of GM. I was wondering if yo would mind doing an email interview. You can get ahold of me through my blog. Thanks.
Love your sarcasm Greg.
