Long Term Hurricane Katrina Victims Being Moved To Arizona

It would probably be cheaper just to dig a big hole and dump them in it.

It would probably be cheaper to offer them up free and let people come and take them, scrap them, do whatever they want with them, realize these are very harmful and never make the mistake again.

I'm all for seeing people getting helped out in a time of need. It doesn't bother me at all that the tax money was spent to help these people out in a disaster. And I don't want to see people having to live in these chemical laden tin cans.

My question right now is, who in their right mind is still living in them at this point? I realize it may take people some time to get back on their feet and get back to some type of normalcy. But lets face it. Katrina hit August of 2005. This was over 3 years ago. There are apartments to be had everywhere for $300 or less. Many even $200 or less. I would take the $200 apartment over the chemical filled FEMA trailer any day and find a way to make a few hundred dollars over a MONTH'S time. Or, I'd try to find a decent roommate, so worst case scenario, I wouldn't even need to make that much!
For some reason I think the stragglers would stay if they set them up in a sewer as long as it was free.

How do these people survive? How do they eat? What do they do with their time? There are 720 hours in a month. Assuming they sleep for 9 hours a day, that leaves 450 hours of time to fill, every month. Pretend you don't have any physical assets to do anything with. Now, sit there and look out the window for an hour. August, 2005. November 2008.

To put this in perspective, that is at the very least, 17,535 waking hours to do something with. To find that job, that roommate, that $300 dollar or less, assisted living apartment. The job market may be down, but you can't tell me it's that down.

Should we just assume that the remaining Katrina victims will spend the rest of their natural lives living in the FEMA trailers?

 

Vess,
You are so correct.

The fact is, the Katrina victims still on welfare and assistance were on welfare and assistance when the thing happened. They are lifers, the " take from the system" is ingrained in their heads, it's become a lifestyle.

LA is another example of the liberal system failure, keep the folks down and dependant on the government.

 

Youre right AJ. But what do we do about it? Really. Do we just let them starve? go homelass? Hey I'm no fan of welfare lifers. Not by a longshot. but what about thier kids? Its not thier fault the parents are ''buttholes''.
