Frustration over FEMA is at about the level it was before
Louisiana's parish leaders cannot get a straight answer from FEMA about anything. They are either told "That's not my job" or they are given instructions that are in direct conflict with the instructions they were just given by another FEMA staff member. The biggest bone of contention now is over temporary housing.
On Thursday, FEMA did agree to change its stupid-ass rule that there would be no housing subsidies for the families of workers who are living in trailers in New Orleans. Under the new rule, if an employee has to commute to the trailer, then her or his family will continue to get the FEMA housing subsidy.
Things are no different in Mississippi, unless you hear Governor Haley Barbour tell it. According to him, everything is going really well.

That is so typical of any government agency. The money is there, has been there, either through government funding or donations, but they are not going to give a cent out until they investigate and make the recipient jump through hoops. It's a classic example of how the proletariate has to suffer and do without until the god-acting lowlife bourgesoise representative says, "yes you can have my I mean the money."
