Look how this administration runs like a well-oiled machine:
WASHINGTON - Despite promises of a swift response to Katrina, the U.S. Small Business Administration didn’t deliver any loan checks to companies in the disaster zone during the first month after the hurricane, according to records obtained by the Associated Press.
The SBA handed out 950,000 ‘applications for disaster loans, received 26,100 responses and approved just 142 loans without cutting any checks as of Monday - the one-month anniversary of Katrina’s first landfall, the records show.
And on a related note: SBA ranked as the worst place to work in the federal government, according to employee surveys analyzed by the Partnership for Public Service and American University.
