Bruzilla said: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......
Bruzilla said: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.
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.``Those affected by these storms should have the opportunity to become self-reliant again and reclaim some normalcy in their lives,'' Paulison said.

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....

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? 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![]()
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.![]()
