So we all hear about the abuse of the Evacuee debit cards
but so far the most egregious has been by the ones who volunteered to help...
Two Arrested For Misuse Of Evacuee Debit Cards
A Red Cross volunteer and his sister face charges of spending at least $230,000 from stolen debit cards that were intended for hurricane evacuees, the U.S. Attorney's Office announced Tuesday. Brian Oneal Hines of Dallas was seen keeping a list of numbers that were determined to be a list of missing debit cards that he activated and used to obtain cash. He gave some of the cards to his sister, Charmaine Denise Hines. Hines said he stole at least 100 client assistance cards in October from various locations, including Reunion Arena in Dallas.

1. Didn't they shut down the debit cards distribution because the righties
were concerned that there would be abuse?

So, the people who were abusing the cards must have been the insiders appointed by the Bush friends because they would not want a LIBERAL to be in charge of anything to do with money, right?

3. Hell NO you can't give money to a liberal
They might actually give it to someone who needs it.:silly:
That is against Republican doctrine.

2. If only $230,000 was all we had to worry about with Iraq spending.
Instead of many billions.
