Lavish tastes of card-carrying Lousiana lowlifes

Profiteering ghouls have been using debit cards distributed in the wake of Hurricane Katrina - intended to buy essentials for evacuated families - in luxury-goods stores as far away as Atlanta. "We've seen three of the cards," said a senior employee of the Louis Vuitton store at the Lenox Square Mall in affluent Buckhead, who asked not to be named. "Two I'm certain have purchased; one actually asked if she could use it in the store. This has been since Saturday." The distinctive white cards were distributed by the Red Cross and the Federal Emergency Management Agency and carry a value of up to $2,000. The source told me that the two women who had made purchases with the card each bought a signature monogrammed Louis Vuitton handbag in the $800 range. -

This is proof as to why throwing money at certain problems will not fix them. It's why they will always be 'po. Besides they was owed them some Louis Vittone.

What are the guidelines for using this card? Any protections in place for the taxpayers who are already eating Billions? Will there be any attempt to prosecute sale or misuse of these cards?

Want to bet? :yucky:
