A broken government
It's been almost six months since Katrina wrecked the lives and homes of thousands of people in Louisiana. Many of these people are still waiting for their governments - local, state and federal - to deliver on their promises and fulfill their obligations to their citizens. 135,000 families have asked for a trailer, less than half have been able to move into one. Today, 19,000 trailers are in staging areas, rather than being occupied by human beings. One company that usually sets up six trailers a day can only set up two in Louisiana because the paperwork is wrong more than half the time.
