FEMA sets the benchmark for government waste

All those FEMA trailers bought with our tax dollars are just sitting unused in Hope, Arkansas.  The total cost of the 18,000 trailers and mobile homes cost us $424 million dollars.  That includes $4.5 million just to lay out 140 acres of gravel to park all the trailers on.

    Look into the story behind the Katrina cottages if you get time. Another waste of both public and private money.

    I can only imagine! I will definitely look into them when I feel like I need to get good and angry.
