FEMA make money off IKE Victims!

What the hell? America, FEMA, what are you doing?

I hope this is wrong and I don't normally create a new Post based on a comment on a previous post but apparently, FEMA are offering "low interest" loans to people affected by Hurricane IKE in order to get themselves sorted out.

Surely the USA can afford to look after its own people when it comes to things like this!? I would be absolutely horrified if all the government did was offer loans. Where is the material? where is the physical help? where is the Army engineers?

A low interest loan is still generating profit. Not a good look FEMA.

Excerpt of Source.

"Begin Quote"
" We live in a suburb just outside of Houston, and despite having little damage there, they aren't getting our power back up until October 5. Plus FEMA won't give assistance to people without power for three weeks, except in the form of a "low-interest loan." They want to make money off of us, when we can't work and can't live in our homes. I can't believe more people aren't talking about this in the news..."
"End Quote"

I know a lot of people did not heed the evacuation orders and to be honest, "on their own head be it. " But what about those who are on the outlying areas who did not get the order to leave?

Wall Street Crash 2008 !!

Hurricane Ike, Train Crash in L.A., Property company bail outs and Financial doom on Wall Street, it all seems to be happening at once in the worlds Largest Economy and the effects will be felt far beyond the borders of the United States of America.

The financial crisis that has been developing in Wall Street has already got people worried here in New Zealand, our own NZX Stock Exchange has crashed 42 points today and things look bleak!

Perhaps the Great Depression of 1929 could be repeating itself, but this time unfortunately the world economy seems far more reliant on each other and countries are far more intertwined these days.

Living at the arse end of the planet sometimes has its advantages, but I don't think we will be untouched this time.

Better get my money out of the bank and put it under my mattress.
