" The cards will be issued on a one-per-household basis, said Natalie Rule, a FEMA spokeswoman in Washington. As a safeguard against fraud, FEMA will use aerial photographs of devastated areas to verify that the refugees were, indeed, forced from their homes in cases where they cannot provide documents to prove their losses or identities."

WTF???

It sets a bad precedent.

If they can get $2K apiece prize money in NO, why not start riots and set fires in your own city, so that you too can win this lottery when your town is declared a Federal disaster area?

What's my alternative? Create some Federally subsidized clean-up jobs to get some spending cash into de po' folk's hands. Do that soon, but don't just hand out free money.
