Health care overhaul spawns mass confusion for Obama voters.

Questions reflecting confusion have flooded insurance companies, doctors’ offices, human resources departments and business groups.
“They’re saying, ‘Where do we get the free Obama care, and how do I sign up for that?’”

Many of the Democrat voters are politically uneducated and are lured to the ballot box to vote (D) only because they’ve been promised Other People’s Stuff: reparations, free health care, cradle to grave sustenance; it’s positive feedback. Ring the bell, here come the salivating Democrats. They are likely not individuals who would be considered biologically successful. Placed on the Bell Curve, you’d find most of ‘em in the lowest percentiles. I’ll bet most of ‘em would not even vote unless they expected to get something for it. It’s the looter – moocher symbiosis that Ben Franklin warned us about.

For now, Obama is back on the campaign trail to promote his health care reform, a move to answer the question that may not stop being asked for four more years: Where’s my free health care?

U can not wait till someone asks Obama on tv this question.

FEMA rules need to be changed.
1) FEMA should treat renters with no jobs diffrent than it handels others. (ie people on welfare) They should have HUD find them a new apartment and move them into it this is the only help they should receive. No cash payments. No money to buy a new TV set!

2)Home owners and Land Lords should prove damage with photos and estimates. Work should actualy have to be done.

3)Tempory housing needs to be managed, Money should not be wasted on motel rooms and people should not be allowed to live in the housing or rooms till cut off dates with no atempt even made to even try and find a place to live. If they can not find a place to live FEMA needs to find rental property for them to live in.

You saw it here first.
Now new GAO reports verifies what we already knew.
$1.4 billion was spent on the following

The investigative agency said it found people lodged in hotels often were paid twice, since FEMA gave them individual rental assistance and paid hotels directly. FEMA paid California hotels $8,000 to house one individual – the same person who received three rental assistance payments for both disasters.

In another instance, FEMA paid an individual $2,358 in rental assistance, while at the same time paying about $8,000 for the same person to stay 70 nights at more than $100 per night in a Hawaii hotel.

FEMA also could not establish that 750 debit cards worth $1.5 million even went to Katrina victims, the auditors said.

$5.3 million was paid to registrants who provided a po box as the damaged residence, including one who got $2,748 for listing an Alabama po box.

Another used 13 different Social Security numbers – including his to receive $139,000 in payments on 13 separate registrations for aid. All the payments were sent to a single address.

I have been reporting this all along that some stores were refusing the debit cards because they did not like to see tax dollars being spent on Plasma Tvs, Gold chains, Rolex’s & other items that people with no home should be buying.

One report from Best Western about a victum in a FEMA hotel room tells about the guy calling in to the office and asking them to pick up the TV. They said ok if its bad we will replace it. He said NO I want it out I just spent my FEMA money on a BIG SCREEN PLASMA TV and this room is not big enough to hold both.

The people who spent this money found nothing wrong with spending it that way because thats what they normaly spend government checks on. If the alll AFDC and other parments were switched to the debit card system everyone would be shocked what the money was really being spent on. AFDC & SSI money is not really being spent on children it goes to crap like this.

Abuse by huricane debut cards is on the rise and as I predicted people
are buying video games beer and other expensive items that people who donated the money and paid taxes can not afford.

However this is not unusual this is how all welfare, SSI & AFDC money is spent everyday we just can not track it because the government hands out checks not debit cards.

I think that since the Food Stamp debit program is working so well that the government should convert all payments to debit cards so they can track money being paid out to take care of children to make sure it is not being spent on beer at strip joints.

I know for a fact because I have seen it that welfare money is being used to buy expensive tvs, video games, beer, tobaco, guns and other items. Very little of the AFDC money actualy gets spent on children.

FEMA is passing out $2000 debit cards not to people who need them who are living with friends and in motel rooms. But to people is Tx shelters who have a free place to live , get free food and clothing.
These people are going to waste this cash on Cocaine ICE and other drugs. And buy expensive useless items that they do not need like Rolex watches, gold teeth and designer clothing. That’s why they lived in government housing because they do not know how to take care of money.
FEMA should not be allowed to hand out cash but only coupons good for set items after they are released from the shelters.
This is a wild waste of funds in 3 days the $2000 will be gone and they will be broke again.
