What Went Wrong? It Was Privitised.

Now we know why there was no FEMA presence --

New Orleans' seemingly unintentionally accurately named 'catastrophic hurricane disaster plan' was privatised last year.

IEM, Inc., the Baton Rouge-based emergency management and homeland security consultant, will lead the development of a catastrophic hurricane disaster plan for Southeast Louisiana and the City of New Orleans under a more than half a million dollar contract with the U.S. Department of Homeland Security/Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA).

I think this may mean a lot of work for lawyers.

"So America, once famous for its can-do attitude, now has a can't-do government that makes excuses instead of doing its job" Paul Krugman, NYT

No: Not so much a can't-do government, but a sold-out, won't-do government, your Ownership Society.

This way to the egress, folks.
