[DMCForum] Re: Katrina The Genocide Plot Thickens

["brandelorean" <brandelorean@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hey Bob,

Have you ever worked for the government?  I have!  The one thing I 
don't want as a taxpayer, is my money going to an "administration 
unfriendly" AKA Crooks & Thieves contractor stealing the money and 
flying away somewhere.

You see, administration friendly, would be those contractors who have 
filed the appropriate paperwork and are signed up as government 
contractors (via a review process on their business and their 
practices).  The contractor I worked for certainly is one and there 
is a ton of government paperwork and contracts that require filing 
and such.  It's a ton of work to get government contracts, but can 
possibly be worth it and sometimes not.  

Do you really want to just hand over part of 10 billion to an "A OK 
Contractors" whose been in business for half a year?  You forget the 
10 Billion belongs TO US!  Me and you!  And therefore, every penny 
has to be accounted for and when you complain about time being of the 
essence, those contractors who are already approved will be on their 
way to help rebuild.  

You see, you call for speed, but not organization or accounting of 
where the money is going.  I'd rather know that 4 billion goes to 
Haliburton if the job gets done and done well instead of, "Hey 2 
billion disappeared??"    

Wouldn't that look bad?  The President gets it enough, but man would 
they have a field day with that!  It all has to do with the 
accounting of where the money (again our money) goes.  

Learn how the government operates, then you can go about trying to 
explain stupid wastes of time.  Though slower than corporations, the 
government is more efficient and atleast accounts for where the money 
goes instead of cooking the books.

So what do you really want?  The government is a funny world to work 
in, but makes sense once you've worked there.

Thanks,

Brandon
