Do Not Play the Blame game on all Federal Employees for the Katrina Disaster

Do Not Play the Blame game on all Federal Employees for the Katrina Disaster In all fairness to the Federal employees, They are moderately paid compared to their industry counterparts. They opt to work for the government, many for patriotic reasons, and some for stability, rather than the dot com fast rich start up fast fortune. Many work overtime to get projects completed without being paid extra for their effort. For example, some engineers work with experimental weapons test equipment to get the hardware and software components all working smoothly together, within a rigid test schedule without charging overtime. Clinton said that when he was president, FEMA was more effective because it reported directly to him, rather than to the director of Homeland Security, but he didn’t claim that the Hurricane Katrina disaster would have been prevented if he was president. Senator Landrieu said that the flood was caused by the collapse of the levees, not the hurricane. When the levee broke, the flood ensued and drowned the victims. We should remind all the Democrats that Levee was old in their rein from 1992-2000, yet they didn’t fix it either, so the blame should not be placed all on the Bush administration and the federal government.
