Personally I SHUDDER to think of the potential fraud awaiting this disaster relief plan. First, lets go back to Florida last year, FEMA for some STUPID reason seemed to think MIAMI was hardest hit by the hurricanes. VAST SUMS were paid out to Dade county residents, even 153 FUNERALS were paid for. YET no storm hit Miami/Dade County with any ferocity at all. Now, lets move on to Gulf Coast this year. Here is what I heard on T/V. 1. Everyone hit by the storm that was employed can now sign up for unemployment benefits. 2. For those not employed they have a second plan for so called SELF employed benefits. 3. For those not qualifying for either they get Welfare benefits. All sounds pretty fair right? Now HERES THE CATCH. Since the government recognizes you may have lost your identity papers in the storm there is NO REQUIREMENT FOR PROVING EVEN WHO YOU ARE LET ALONE YOUR QUALIFICATIONS. I am BETTING that people will sign up and receive ALL THREE. Hell,, a few buddies of mine have even said, lets go near there and make the TOLL FREE CALL and sign up ourselves. Thats how DANGEROUS this plan appears, I HOPE I AM WRONG. But, based upon last year here in Fla. I doubt that I am. jdn
