[QUOTE]Originally posted by Jomama: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Kitty: [qb] A Hurricane is not about politics, [/qb][/QUOTE]It is when you have an administration that is altering the way the govt operates internally like NEVER has been seen in U.S. History.. The response is definitly tied to politics... I'm not just talking efficency here.. There are places that need to improve govt efficiency. But you can only "streamline" so much before it becomes blind gutting... I see it with my own eyes each day from the fed level on down. When you see how FEMA has previously responded over the years.. VS. this.. something has changed.. and not for the better... :rolleyes: [QUOTE].In June (2004), Pleasant Mann, a 16-year FEMA veteran who heads the agency's government employee union, wrote members of Congress to warn of the agency's decay. "Over the past three-and-one-half years, FEMA has gone from being a model agency to being one where funds are being misspent, employee morale has fallen, and our nation's emergency management capability is being eroded," he wrote. "Our professional staff are being systematically replaced by politically connected novices and contractors." [/QUOTE]edit** I am in no way saying the the Gov of LA and Mayor of N.O. should not be accountable as well, as I think they made some really poor decisions about evacuations... There is a really telling picture of a fleet of school bus's left to be flooded out? Why were they not used? etc.. But that does not mean that the issues at the Fed lvl should be excused...
