FEMA is billing Louisiana?..How much has Florida repaid?

[SoCalDem]

I mean really!! The whole reason a state is declared a disaster area, is because they cannot afford to clean up/fix up/recover on their own..

Is there a website that tracks how much states have been billed for, post-event...and how much they repaid??

1. Very good questions. This should be reviewed going back a few years.

2. read the disaster declarations first

repayment agreements are SOP for disaster declarations.

3. When an area has been declared a disaster area

it's residents are qualified for low interest loans to rebuild.

4. they should turn around and bill FEMA and Brownie

for the damages caused by his negligence.

5. I'm sure it's going to be different for Florida after this last

hurricane-battered season. It's not an election year, after all.

6. How much has Florida been billed?

7. HAS Florida been billed?

I always see mentions of so many billion here and so many bollion there in aid being sent, but I have yet to read anything about any bills arriving on Jebbie's desk...marked "Past Due"

8. I haven't even seen what the Feds have paid to Florida.

9. The legislature should tell Bush to piss off and take the help

from France and Venezuela.

10. Didn't Florida get payments for phantom damage?? I have heard

that people doing clearing in Fl. are raking it in BIG. I wonder who sets these rates and I would love to see how they compare to clearing and recovery in less favored states.... oh, that's right, they do away with laws that set a fair wage.... oh bother.

11. That's a GREAT question. I never read once that Florida was being asked

to repay FEMA.

15. After the shrub stole the election in 2004

They did a major crackdown on people who applied and received FEMA funds when they weren't qualified to. But this did not start until well after election day.

12. FEMA's work is usually billed a 75%/25% split between

the federal and state governments, respectively.

I would assume this is no different.

14. and yet the US govt plans to "reimburse" red cross

and other charities? Something's amisss here, folks..

Lotsa "billin' & reimbursin' & transferrin" going on.. It sounds very Halliburtonesque, and a clever cover for a TON O Money goin' missin'.:puke:

13. Let's see - 3,7 billion divided by

the number of people that died so that Brownie wouldn't have to be bothered at dinner. How much is that per death?
