What is being perceived as aid to the homeowners of Louisiana is only a mirage, or smoke-screen. While it is true that billions of dollars have poured into the storm-raged areas of Louisiana; it is the final destination of that money that lies at the heart and soul of this book. Now that the state of Louisiana has all of the funding in place―so that its citizens can rebuild their homes and get on with their lives the; perception once again is not the reality of what has been, and is occurring.

The Louisiana Recovery program; called The Road Home Program, on the surface seems like a legitimate program that is designed to prevent fraud, waste and abuse. The perception of most Americans is that our federal government has given billions of dollars to the homeowners of Louisiana. The federal government did give billions to the State of Louisiana; and herein lays the problem. By giving the funds to the State of Louisiana, they provided an opportunity for those in state government in Louisiana to screw everything up.

If the checks were being disbursed by the federal government; as it is done with the IRS in the form of checks, it could have saved millions of taxpayer's dollars. ICF International; the company that was chosen to implement The Road Home Program, will be paid up to seven-hundred and fifty-six million dollars in order to prevent waste and fraud; can you believe it?
