FEMA: YOUR TAX DOLLARS AT WORK!

You and I paid for sex change operations, booze, sports tickets, etc...

Arrghh! The government waste gets worse by the day, and they are wasting the money you and I paid through our taxes while we worked. Foreign aid, pork projects, etc., and now the Katrina scams.

Here are some of the fraudulent payouts to the scumbags that capitalize on disasters and peoples' misfortunes:

- An all-inclusive, one-week Caribbean vacation in the Punta Cana resort in the Dominican Republic.

- Five season tickets to New Orleans Saints professional football games.

- Adult erotica products in Houston and "Girls Gone Wild" videos in Santa Monica, Calif.

- Dom Perignon champagne and other alcoholic beverages in San Antonio.

- $1,000 payout to a Houston divorce lawyer

- an individual who used 13 different Social Security numbers — including the person's own — to receive $139,000 in payments on 13 separate registrations for aid. All the payments were sent to a single address.

- In another instance, FEMA paid an individual $2,358 in rental assistance, while at the same time paying about $8,000 for the same person to stay 70 nights at more than $100 per night in a Hawaii hotel.

- The GAO said it was 95 percent confident that improper and potentially fraudulent payments were much higher — between $600 million and $1.4 billion.

All of these were done courtesy of the FEMA debit cards, paid by us. No attempt was made by FEMA to verify the identity of the so-called victims, nor for what the "victims" were buying. There were no limits set on the card.

Totally disgusting and my guess is that they won't prosecute these low-life scumbags. If you or I cheated on our taxes in the amount of $1,000, we would be prosecuted, fined and have a federal crime on our records.
