"FEMA exposed taxpayers to significant waste --
and possibly violated federal law -- by awarding $3.6 billion worth of Hurricane Katrina contracts to companies with poor credit histories and bad paperwork," according to a new report by the Department of Homeland Security Inspector General.
It was free money from the White House so the friends of the GOP just took it. Now we know that all the money was wasted and as the White House would say " What are you going to do about it as Bush is in charge".
It found a haphazard competitive bidding process in which the winning contract prices were both unreasonably low and high. Moreover, FEMA did not take adequate legal steps to ensure that companies were small and locally operated, resulting in a questionable contract award to a large firm with ties to the Republican Party. this is where the problem is, ties to the GOP
