9. The media found a few people that did abuse some aid they had received during Katrina

But from what I've read it was like half a dozen people out of millions that received aid. Of course the media focuses on those few people instead of the fact that millions were helped.

It's kinda like Voter Fraud. Because something like 0.00000001% of fraud has been found over the decades we need to enact draconian laws to ensure it never happens again.
