It’s a shame when a mistake made by the federal government almost a decade ago will haunt taxpayers who have done nothing fraudulent on their part. It is refreshing to see at least one person in Washington stand up to the feds. With the amount of waste that is created on a daily basis in Washington on other activities, the Obama administration needs to focus their attention elsewhere. FEMA has become nothing more than another bureaucracy that has become a bullying arm of this administration.
“All these cases we’re talking about, are my definition, FEMA mistakes and FEMA screw-ups. And then they’re trying to go after people, and again, in virtually every case. This money is spent on legitimate purposes, so this means that people in a hole would have to borrow money in a desperate situation to try to come up with these dollars that FEMA is going after,” said Senator David Vitter.
