Not sure if something like this can be done in cases like a disaster ...

I don't support the fraud but there were many more that didn't abuse the system than did and when you are without a home, food, shelter, etc you need immediate help. I think FEMA knew that there would be abuse and expected a certain percentage but decided the good out weighted the bad. JMO.

The question is is there a better method. Hopefully if there is they've got the system in place for the next go round be it hurricanes, earthquakes, floods or terrorist.

What I don't understand is why a Katrina victim should be any more deserving of help than some other individual vicitm. What if your house got hit by lightning tonight and burned to the ground? Aren't you just as much in need as someone who got flooded out by Katrina?

Why is it that if there are thousands of victims, we think we should give handouts, but not if it is just one person or one family?

What happened to insurance? Whose fault is it when someone is uninsured? Not the taxpayers'.
