what i found most ironic about this situation is that most of the aid went to rich people who were hardly touched in miami, so the paper reported...my mother in law had to live in her house with no front wall for almost a year before we moved...and the landlord wanted full rent too, she received a one time check of 1000 dollars to cover all the damage, (everything in her living room) while the owner got several thousands to fix the roof and wall...only after being threatened with government reporting and needing new renters inspired her to do a quickie job...*shrugs*

people suck!

"I saw on Fox News last night that FEMA ran out of money and is telling insurance companies not to pay flood claims. They said "everyone will be paid.. eventually".

how can fema tell them anything...governmental privelage?

"You know what the one great thing about hurricanes is? THERE ARE TONS OF JOBS AFTERWARDS. And in the cases of these New Orleans evacuees... they're handed everything on a silver platter and STILL think they're entitled to more."

fema should make them work for their handouts, i could see that resolving several issues, but the influx of migrants may cause a bit of hassle.
