These $2000 debit cards....VERY strange - now mentioned all over media
Advertisements [?]
Few questions:

1. Are recipients required to sign papers in order to get the cards? What kind of indemnity is included? Any loyalty oaths involved (okay, kidding about that one)?

2. What kind of precedent is this setting for future disasters? Does the Buish administration think that a $2000 "payoff" to victims will sway public opinion? Sort of a $300 "tax cut" redux?

3. What proof of hurricane exposure is offered in exchange for one of these cards?

Sorry but I just get the feeling that the Feds are finding a way to screw victims all over again.
