WASHINGTON - The government doled out as much as $1.4 billion in bogus assistance to victims of Hurricanes Katrina and Rita, getting hoodwinked to pay for season football tickets, a tropical vacation and even a divorce lawyer, congressional investigators have found.
We have to be able to assist those in need, but we can not just show up and throw money away in every direction.
And it is clear that after the miserable initial response to Katrina, FEMA responded by simply giving away money without any effective oversight.
