See Lady Lurksalot's post detailing how numerous cars with Louisiana plates began showing up in Houston after FEMA announced it's $2,000 debit card giveaway.

Dollars to doughnuts a number of those folks are not even from striken areas, but want to cash in on the government largesse.

IMO, it would be better to give people "seed cash" to get them on their way once they have made arrangements for other shelter, work, etc.
