A reporter on CNN Larry king just said

[Pam-Moby]

that the $2,000.00 per family debit card program has been scrapped for the Katrina victims. Has anyone else heard anymore on this?

1. we're on level 1....

[faithnotgreed]

5. level 1 feels weird

kinda naked like

[Sydnie]

2. Yes, they want to go back to direct deposit or paper checks

that way they can earn a little interest on the money before they send it to them. :sarcasm:

[steely]

7. Right - that way, first thing Monday they can make a withdrawl

if they can find their banks - assuming they have an account.

12. For which you must apply

online.

Windows running IE 6.0 with javascript enabled. That's it. Everyone else is SOL.

3. yes the base must have screamed

4. We can't afford to give them $2,000?

Is it just me or are all the 9/11 families now millionares? Wonder why the gap is so big?

[MikeNY]

6. Because the govt was complicit in 9/11

And it was most likely a false flag operation

[steely]

8. Many waited in line only to get Red Cross cards worth a few

hundred - and then were told no FEMA cards were "deployed" - (the first clue).

Welcome to DU BTW.

9. It's over now. NOW, the people involved, have to find their

BANKS, that have been destroyed. Bon chance. Bush and admin suck the big one! They want us make we think they are helping, but they are not.
Bed for me.Love ya...

10. Yes, W wants to go to bank accounts and EFTs

and online applications.

[RUMMYisFROSTED]

11. The privatization of Katrina has begun.

[gumby]

13. Somewhere today

I heard that they stopped the program because non-victims were showing up to collect the cards.

Guess cheating is not allowed! Perhaps they should just ship some of those pallets of $100 dollar bills that they shipped to Iraq to the Astrodome? There has been NO accounting for that vast cubic footage of currency sent to Iraq.
