Imagine that your home was reduced to mold and wood framing by Hurricane Katrina. Desperate for money to rebuild, you engage in a frustrating bureaucratic process, and after months of living in a government-provided trailer tainted with formaldehyde you finally win a federal grant.
When a catastrophe strikes, those effected need help ... not political/social miscalculations. Private contractors are in business to make a profit. These individuals made profit on human misery. Same old ... same old!
