Thank you, come again.
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.

The problem is were most of these people self-sufficient, productive members of society in the first place?

I am so very blessed
I nominate you for the job of paying for, and taking care of, all those folks. Let them live on YOUR dime.Qurious said:
There are people out there who truly do deserve to receive continued assistance, but by and large, a huge majority of people do have the means and the ability to take care of themselves. Those people who are still deserving of help will find the assistance they still need. It's the people who didn't have jobs or motivation before the tornado, and who have no desire to get a job now, that troubles me.

But wait, there's more...
My guess is that the majority of those who will voice displeasure over this are the same people who wereTri said:
about how the response efforts sucked and they had no warning and no help to get out as they waded through 4 feet of water with a stolen television in their hands. Those who can, do and have ... those who don't, complain with an open hand. :shrug:

We'll never know that answer and the news certainly won't find out.
Society has been fed so much
from the liberals over the years they have became more and more dependant on the govt., just what the libs want. As long as the people need to Govt. for support, the libs can keep playing the race card and keep using the “victims” of society to keep the votes coming in. Just like the pharmaceutical industry, if they made cures, they would be out of business.

So where are all the George Soros, George Clooneys, and Babs Streisands in all of this? If all these wealthy Dems want so see these people stay in hotels they've got more than enough millions to spare to make that happen. But they don't because they want you to use YOUR money to pay for that... not theirs.
I was able to take a bit less than $5,000 (of my own money), move my family from Maryland to Florida with no job prospects and to a rental house found on the internet, and make a new life for myself. There's no reason why any of these people can't do it. How do I know that these people were on public assistance before? Because people who are self-reliant... those being the tens of thousands who have overcome the setbacks of the hurricane, have already moved on. It's the small number of non-self-reliant types that are the hangers on at the hotels. Why is it that all of these other tens of thousands of hard-working people were able to find a way to get back on their feet yet these folks didn't? Because they probably weren't "on their feet" when the storm hit.

Word from my home town in Lousiana is that a couple thousand "refugees" were placed in temporary housing (paid for them) near there, and each person was given $2,000 dollar FEMA cards , regardless of age. So if you have 6 kids, and 2 adults in your family, you get 16,000 dollars.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? 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
The townfolk were upset that some of these "refugees" were seen driving around town in brand new cars.
No, that is not what they are for. A strict reading of the Constitution (the only correct way) provides for NO welfare or government assistance of any kind.Qurious said:
