We are going to ease their burden, the burden of those families who are hit so hard by giving them $100 rebate.

FEMA is discredited, demoralized, and dysfunctional.

There were several findings that I found particularly troubling. The first is the blatant insubordination of then-FEMA Director Michael Brown. It was clear that he was disengaged from the onset of Katrina. He failed to communicate…
