Yeah I know it has been 3 and a half years since Katrina, and with all of the houses on the market, it must be hard to choose which house they  want. SO they will stay leeching off of the tax payer until they decide. Thanks a bunch.

I don't think it would set a positive political tone to evict these "victims", particularly since the Dems have an upper hand on this issue.

The federal government will continue housing these families until they are able to transfer their "care" to state programs

No he wont, they will keep getting extensions and then blame the Government that their life is shit. But remember, Obama is going to buy us all houses and get us jobs, he is the second coming.

I'd be more worried about what banks continue asking for handouts than what these people are doing.  We could pay for all the living expenses of all these people for the rest of their lives for cheaper than what we just spent on Wall Street.

The stimulus bill is even more than that in cost.

So, all things considered, Katrina victims are a fucking bargain compared to all the other shit going down right now....

It would probably help things out some if the federal government enacted a policy of "we'll fix this the first time, but you're on your own next time."

It doesn't make much sense to continually rebuild in areas prone to disaster.

Granted, New Orleans hadn't been hit by a hurricane before Katrina since like 1965.  Of course, only a few years after Katrina, they got hit pretty close.  I think changing climate patterns may truly render New Orleans unlivable in the near future.

No that is not what tax is for.  That is the problem, people feel entitled now.  They feel they are entitled to some of my money for their screw-ups.

The government was never intended to be a redistributer of wealth like it is becoming.  We have drifted so far away from the original principles that we have people like you saying that is what tax is for.  Lord help us all.

Ah, you give a response based on ignorance of Lowing views, ignorance of the role of the federal government and apparent ignorance of the situation in Nawlins. I shall not do more the attempt to clarify this; immediate assistance in a disaster, planning evacuations and setting up relief centers only became the job of the federal authorities during katrina. When a federal disaster area is declared that used to mean federal funds were make available to assist local authorities and provide reconstruction money.

Both, somehow, this morphed into george bush was committing genocide because all those poor black people were suffering. Give me a break. I assure you sir, that there is likely nobody on this forum who holds as much...hostility towards the former administration as I. Bunch of stupid fuckers didn't gtfo when they were told to. local cops walked to protect their own families in the face of a class five and the mayor abandoned his post and in essence demanded that the federal authorities do his job. I bet being a politician is great; what? with all the cash bribes, sweet heart mortgages and inside deals how can it be bad?

Easy; when there is a major disaster and a lazy ill-informed and apathetic populace sits on their asses watching it come down.

Now there is a giant slop trough full of tax dollars and a bunch of little piglets are trying to get all they can.

Just remember, the swine are those that just took trillions in tax money and offer no sanity, security or positive future as a trade. I say give it to the morons in the disaster zone instead. They will spend it, not horde it like the banks are doing.

No, it's for housing people for three and a half years...instead of actually giving them houses which imo would have been cheaper.

So how long is too long for you?  Or are there no jobs anywhere besides New Orleans?

Told ya so..... (Palin-bashing Associated Press cries “RAAAACISM!”)
Expect 4 years of this bullshit.
An Obama observation
Seems like Obama has a lot to hide or is ashamed of.
The bottomline on Obama "spread the wealth around"
Stupidity and a lack of quality informed liberal voters comes to mind.
Mixed Emotions the Obama Win
Disappointed that a socialist is now our president.
Perfect, Obama and his Chicago roots
All of our problems are solved.
As a Historic American President, Obama's first TV interview goes to..
Gotta love it, let the apologist movement continue with full force.
some comparisons
2 million brothers and sisters made it to DC for the inauguration, but they couldn't get out of New Orleans before Katrina.
Its about change................
Oh well, change we need I guess.

You have no fucking idea. Go to hell.

I had over 30 family members in that storm. My family lost 5 houses, numerous jobs, and massive amounts of material wealth for which they will never receive any compensation. They were lucky to have as huge a familial network as we do, because otherwise, a few of them would have nowhere else to go, no job, and nothing but FEMA's toxic trailers.

I've was in the south 3 months ago. From New Orleans west through Alabama, the whole place is still nothing what it was before Katrina. The rebuilding that is being done is by the richest people with the money to reinvest in a life there, they are not building businesses. They are not building low-income housing. They are building mansions and suburban ranches.

Shut up lowing, you have no fucking clue what you are talking about. Ever.
