So lets put more money if we are going to throw money at the problem into the red cross.

FEMA was very effective under Clinton. It stopped being effective when George Bush appointed a man to run it that had no background in disaster relief. It all depends on who is running the show.

Where was fema tested under clinton as it was under bush. I think that is a stretch.

Look at NOLA again. FEMA was so busy managing everything else, like the evacuaees, that they didn't have the resouces to spend on managing volunteers that they needed.
|
So if we are going to throw money at the problem why start another beuravcracy? just task them to do it and give them the resources.

You yourself said there was a problem with too many volunteers in NOLA. This makes much more sense than turning them back.

Not if they are not needed. there is such thing as too many cooks in the kitchen.
