The bigdog/poppy bush "FAIRYTALE"
Since the old megalomaniac bigdog wants to interject himself in a presidential campaign and make false claims about one of our Democratic candidates,
I think it is TIME to delve into the "fairytale" narrative that these two raised 150 million for the survivors of Katrina victims.
If you look at who has gotten most of the money it is big corporations...
I think it is time to see HOW MANY OF THOSE CORPORATIONS GAVE BIG to Hillary and which ones budled money for her campaign.

Let the primaries begin!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

1. Could you please verify what you say with some links.....
why would big corporations get the money raised for Katrina victims? You are saying the money raised was given to big corporations and then the big corporations gave money to Hillary. I think you are telling a "Fairytale" otherwise please back it up.

3. Wow! That's a shitload of sour grapes you got there. I don't like either
Clinton, think the country would be better served if they just went back to Arkansas and kept out of the public eye for the rest of their lives. But I don't think that her hubby and his newly found Poopy stole 150 million and funneled it into her campaign through corporate America.

Corporate America would have kept the money for itself. And both Bill and Poopy have helped them in their time. But they're pikers compared to blivet.

Big, Easy Money
Disaster Profiteering on the American Gulf Coast
August 17th, 2006

Disaster profiteers make millions while local companies and laborers in New Orleans and the rest of the Katrina-devastated Gulf Coast region are systematically getting the short end of the stick, according to a major new report from the nonprofit CorpWatch.

A CorpWatch analysis of FEMA's records shows that "fully 90 percent of the first wave of (the post-Katrina reconstruction) contracts awarded - including some of the biggest no-bid contracts to date -- went to companies from outside the three worst-affected states. As of July 2006, after months of controversy and Congressional hearings, companies from Louisiana, Mississippi and Alabama had increased their share of the total contracts to a combined 16.6 percent." The CorpWatch analysis shows that more federal reconstruction contracts have gone to Virginia and Indiana - usually large, politically connected corporations -- than to any of the three Katrina-devastated states.

The CorpWatch report also exposes abusive "contracting charge pyramids" where the companies doing the actual reconstruction work often get only a tiny (and insufficient) fraction of the taxpayer money awarded for projects and widespread non-payment of local companies and laborers, including what has been alleged to be the deliberate and systematic exploitation of immigrant workers, including undocumented individuals...(much more)
