Oh, yeah. Obviously clearly a screw up on FEMA's part, they approved the disbursment. That's why there are some Congressmen trying to get it fixed. Was that on 60 Minutes maybe? There is apparently a law - the rules governing FEMA disbursements - that if there is a screwup and FEMA wrongly disperses money, they have to ask for it back. That makes sense, right?

Doesn't make sense when the people money was dispersed to used it to repair their houses (the intent of it all)
