My company contracted with FEMA for the Katrina cleanup for six months but then all payments started flowing through Halliburton. They became very slow to pay and some subcontractors never got paid. Considering that the closest place to get diesel for our equipment was Jackson Ms at $5 a gallon, it no longer made sense. But FEMA work under Bill Clinton paid each week and the national guard made everything convenient for us and the jobs were coordinated, smooth and we actually felt like a part of a patriotic team working together for the betterment of society.
I knew then that Democrats were about helping the common good, and republicans were all about profit for the top of the heap.
