$500 Million in donations reported by Red Cross
reports Blitzer on CNN

Oh my god. I hope someone is going to be holding them accountable for making sure that money gets to those who need it.

1. I agree! Wondr what those other "Faith Based Groups"
collected? Actually, the Red Cross has a decent rep in past history. I don't think the rest of 'em do!

3. yes you are correct
I managed to retract my donation to the Red Cross. They are corrupt and as for the money "collected" (aka stolen) will never be see by the vicitims of the hurricane.

4. I don't understand...
Why not put the majority of this money into a trust and have the survivors draw what they need to open new households for themselves?

They know where these people are. Give them their checks.
