Bush administration adopts Halliburton accounting practices

From The Left Coaster, via arse poetica, comes the news that the Bush administration has not provided Congress with any details about where and how billions of dollars in emergency Katrina aid was spent. The administration is required by law to provide Congress with weekly updates on emergency spending, but so far, all Congress has seen amounts to "a few spreadsheets."

This piece of information comes at a time when Republicans are wringing their hands over what will happen to the money that is given to historically corrupt Louisiana. A commenter on my blog called Louisiana the most corrupt political machine in history, but I reminded him/her that that is no longer true now that we have the Bush administration.
