I would think a large majority would now be able to stand on thier own two feet. The other minority will now just switch from Fema to the welfare system.

Ah yes... I'm sure the networks have camera crews on the move out to hotels to get video of families of the entitlement class who have been sitting on their asses in hotels since the storm who will be decrying how uncaring FEMA, Bush's FEMA, is. And if FEMA extended the funding for a year, the same people would be in the same hotels saying the same things a year from now.

Thats what I was gonna say.....If they are not out on their own by now, wny should we foot the bill for them to sit around in hotels all day long loafing off? They should be out trying to get a job and back on their feet...But I guess they still want even more handouts......
With about 2,500 still in shelters and 32,000 or so in these hotels, according to the article, where are they going to locate the interim housing for this many people? And FEMA (aka - you and I via taxes) will still be picking up the tab for that housing for a while.

Well... I'm thinking that if tent cities are good enough for our troops in Iraq and Afghanistan they're damn well good enough for these loafers, and erecting tent cities until house trailers are available is a damn sight cheaper than paying for a short-term hotel.

This is disgusting.
How can they get a job and support their families when they dont have a place to stay now?
All of you are saying they'll just go on welfare and still sit around and do nothing....how can they when they can't go back to their home town to get a job?
I got more to say but i'll just leave it at that. America should be ashamed of themselves....

AMEN! The thing about the FEMA aid is that it's just that -- AID! Assistance ... it's not meant to be a never-ending source of money for affected families to milk off of the rest of their lives.
That right there is what it's about ... FEMA is there to help ... but the objective is to return these folks to self-sufficient, productive members of society; not add to the numbers of people already suckling off the government's teet.

What planet are you from? Everybody has started from scratch. Some people, more than once. That's how it's done, unless you're born with a silver spoon in your mouth. If they can do it once, they can do it again. Just how long are these people supposed to sit on their collective asses and wait for everything to fall into their laps?

Did anyone read the article in yesterday's emptyprize about the man and his family that are staying in Charles County with family? They were given over $5,000 from FEMA and in donations in the past 2.5 months and are still unable to find a place to live and get back on their feet

This is how it should be. Pull yourself up by your bootstraps and do the right thing. If they keep babying these people, they will stay there forever. The only thing I'm sad about is it took to long. It's time people start doing for themselves and to stop waiting for the gvmt to bail their sorry asses out. No one said they had to stay in that area. There is plenty of work in this country IF YOU ARE WILLING TO DO IT. They just want to enjoy the ride.

If they're looking in Charles County (or Southern Maryland), that's no surprise.Elle said:Did anyone read the article in yesterday's emptyprize about the man and his family that are staying in Charles County with family?

I'd be looking in less-populated, lower-cost-of-living areas, but that still offer a decent job market.

rack'm said:1. Haven't they been living for free in a hotel??
2. Chances are, they were already on welfare and will still continue being the burden they are.
3. The loafers should be ashamed.
4. I'm with Bru but I'd bet that the tent cities would just turn into soft walled slums.
American settin up their own Refugee camps....now that will bring more voters out
