Not surprising to me, this type of behavior has gone on since at least the 1930s (the earliest I am aware of) in the US.

I like how all the trash in Louisiana who accepted HUD/CDBG funds to elevate or repair their homes, and accepted FEMA Mitigation funds to elevate or repair their home "double-dipped" and accepted funds for teh same work. The Office of the Inspector General says that any documented fraud of less than $130,000 is not worth the time to pursue.

That makes no sense to me. First of all, I'll happily pay money to a legal authority to pursue these degenerates. Second, and ironic, the IRS will come after you for one Dollar. Yes, one Dollar...why the double standard. What happens if the secret bro-spy network reports one of these FEMA-thieves? Are they ignored?

I like how people take these borderline sites seriously.

So much makes no sense. This is why we need RON FIRETRUCKING PAUL for 2012.

Oh, are we supposed to take Fox, CNN, MSNBC, etc seriously then? Because that's even more ridiculous.
