How Is It Criminal?
Somebody asked how the portable levee deal could be criminal.

Well, it starts with the quotes from Cullen's memo: "Pricing reflects the notion that use will be funded by FEMA as provided for in the Stafford Act. This FEMA- inflated pricing combined with counterproductive reimbursement provisions makes purchasing a tough intial investment." In other words, if the Guvment pays for it, it costs more. "FEMA-inflated pricing"? Its the vendor who inflates it, not FEMA. Google "Medicaid fraud" and see the parallels. You ain't supposed to rip-off the Guvment!

Check out this NY Times article and ask whether our portable levee scam could have fit into it.
