Looks like the leeches get yet another extention of free living expenses at the hands of the tax payers.

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.

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.

Let's see, I live in a bowl.  I live next to a lake.  That lake is higher than my bowl and would fill it up easily.  I rest my faith on the government funded levies.  Nope don't see a problem here.

exactly, move them out of the NO area entirely
just not here, i don't want more violence and drugs where i live lol

i still can't believe people stayed for katrina though, putting faith in the levees lol
levees always breach in Houma when a hurricane comes

Hmmmm, go to hell? Now why would I want to go to go there, it is below sea level and full of parasites?




How come your family did not have insurance for their possessions and homes?

What kinda work did they do where it can not be replaced with new work in 4 years?

So you went through there recently and it is nothing like it was before Katrina? Ya mean it is no longer a corrupt welfare nanny city, full of leeches and ticks? Sounds like a good thing to me. An example of New Orleans at its finest http://snopes.com/katrina/politics/carcrush.asp

You are actually complaining that they are not building ghettoes for the locals, but quality housing in hopes to attract people that will actually work toward something instead of living the dream of govt. assistance for life? again sounds positive to me unless of course you are one of the leeches, who can't suck a govt. tit anymore.


Lets see, I have "no clue what I am talking about EVER" yet I am the one with no criminal record, a beautiful home, a good job, ( marketable), debt free, and health insurance all without the need of govt. welfare..... Funny, I like what "not knowing what I am talking about, ever" does for me.


Now if I could just find a way to keep the parasites off of me................

They probably did have some insurance.

Yes, but perhaps not flood insurance ... and, I think this is where a lot of the problems are with the insurance reimbursements.

Far too many homeowners do not realize that flooding is not covered by standard home owner's policies.  One third (33%) of New Orleans homeowners did not have flood insurance.  And, of course, so much of New Orleans is below sea level.

Nationally, only about 5% of homeowners have flood insurance.

Did you know that, a lot of the time, insurance companies don't pay up to the amount they're supposed to during disasters?

It's a lot of the reason why the government gets involved in the first place.  It's also a lot of the reason why Florida recently socialized insurance.

In short, while I think it's a mistake to rebuild in continually vulnerable areas, we also need the government to hold insurance companies more liable for actually covering what they're supposed to, because when they don't, we end up paying for it as taxpayers.

Insurance companies practically get away with murder in this country.  In addition to this, they also are much of the reason why healthcare is so expensive here.

There are already laws, all thet needs to be done is enforce them..

Yeah I'm sure bringing a class action against the insurance agencies involved would be rather simple, along with cost of lawyers, for these people.

Perhaps you missed the part where I said ENFORCE the laws already existing. Kinda sorta meaning, I understand insurance companies and their lobbyists are a problem.
