Also, let's not forget the many times higher private charitable money that has been funneled into this situation that for Hurrican Andrew.
I think we need to take a little step back and make a plan for all this money before we just dump it into $2000 debit cards and the like so that it can be used efficiently for the most good.
I also wish there was more attention paid to organizations other than the Red Cross, which has a terrible record for fiscal responsibility and disclosure. There are many proven organizations, faith based and not, also working down there to help people.
