Okay, let me see if I understand this.
The Department of Homeland Security hires the Army Corps of Engineers to remove debris in the Mississippi Gulf Coast after Hurricane Katrina.
The Army Corps of Engineers hires a Halliburton subsidiary to remove debris around the Mississippi Gulf Coast after Hurricane Katrina.
The Halliburton subsidiary hires a company called United Disaster Relief to remove debris around the Mississippi Gulf Coast after Hurricane Katrina.
United Disaster Relief hires a company called KTC Servicees to remove debris around the Mississippi Gulf Coast after Hurricane Katrina.
KTC Services hires immigrant labor to remove debris around the Mississippi Gulf Coast after Hurricane Katrina.
The immigrant laborers say that they aren't getting paid by KTC Services.
KTC Services says it isn't getting paid by United Disaster Relief
United Disaster Relief says it hasn't been paid by the Halliburton subsidiary--or, at least, it hasn't been paid enough by the Halliburton subsidiary to enable it to pay KTC Services.
Can someone 'splain to me why relief money has to go through two government agencies and three businesses before it gets down (or, rather, doesn't get down) to the people who are doing the work.
For $20 or $30 billion, I'd do the work myself.
