Rep. Tom Tancredo (R-CO) says it's “time the taxpayer gravy train left the New Orleans station” with respect to Katrina aid. He is tired of the fraud and official incompetence. In the last two years, 114 billion dollars (yes, that's billion with a "b") in Federal hurricane relief has been spent in the Gulf Region, and more than 1.1 million volunteers have come to the New Orleans area alone to help with cleanup and repair.
If you look at it from outside the area, it's hard to argue with the Congressman - especially when there may well be upwards of a one billion dollars in relief fraud (yes, that's billion with a "b"), and when New Orleans' mayor shows his appreciation by saying: "It still important to point out that America still hasn't done right by us..."
