Back to the video. Very funny, but obviously staged.
No offense, Spilchy, but I think that was a little harsh to make assumptions about him like that, for no reason. Maybe there has been a lot of money allocated, but you wouldn't know it from the condition around there, because of piss poor management and bureaucratic BS which is the US disaster response system.

I don't blame anyone for thinking we're not spending money at all, because we might as well not be.

The American way of throwing money on a broken system doesn't really work out too well. People are just too proud to admit it.
