Why FEMA Was Missing in Action ....

The whole budget cut excuse is a red-herring load of crap.

How much does it cost to "make a plan" ? Especially for a disaster that almost happened last year and whose consequences were well known ? Not much.

The city of New Orleans should have had a plan for sheltering 20,000 - 30,000 people in the Superdome and Convention Center for 3 - 5 days.

That means non-perishable food, water, diapers, baby formula, porta-potties or kitty litter and so on that are stored in the city someplace and can be moved within 2 days -- like from a Walmart distribution center maybe ?

That means having security.

Than means having a place where small helicopters can land and big helicopters can drop drop stuff (like more food, water, ice, and dry ice maybe ?) off.

Seriously, how tough is it to come up with a plan like that (with all the instructions, people to call, etc.) ?

Two or 3 people could do it in 2 or 3 months.
