FEMA - your tax dollars at work

Now, I'm usually a fan of self-reliance. But then, I haven't been two weeks without power and ice and water and work. After a while, that has to get to you. But FEMA, this federal agency with a gazillion dollars to pour into communities in an emergency, just can't seem to get anything right.

Three neighbors. Same street, same answers to questions, same EVERYTHING. One denied, one pending, one approved.

And now this story, where FEMA sent trucks full of ice to Seguin, outside of San Antonio, in order to dump them on the runway of an airport out of view of reporters. Heh heh, reporters caught them anyway.

When some truckers consented to an interview, a man wearing a FEMA shirt arrived on a golf cart within moments and threatened to have the truckers fired.
"This conversation is over," he told the truckers. "Or you guys will not be here any longer."


And this is a part of the agency charged with keeping the country safe? Of patrolling the border?
