What happened to those debit cards?
Remember those $2000 debit cards that everyone in New Orleans was going to get? And then they were going to get direct deposit payments instead?
Many poor people don't have bank accounts: what happens to them?
$2000 a person is hundreds of millions of dollars. Who appropriated this? What's the rationale? Just wondering...
And what was the debit card idea, anyway? Did the issuing banks get a windfall for servicing the cards? 1.5% of a hundred million dollars is real money; who got lucky?
