If Extreme Home Makeover can build a huge house in 7 days, maybe FEMA could build a bunch of apartment buildings in a month or so to house refugees?

It will take that long just to fill out the Bid Sheet!

FEMA and the National Guard managed to get an operating tent city up a week after Andrew and later brought in trailers and relocated the evacuees to trailers. However a year after Hurricane Charley, many are still living in those, as are many in other disaster areas. Unfortunately without means, this trailer sure beats anything else they could get at an affordable rent..

As to some who make comments as to those who milk the system, well I am against that. But I am angry that when the time comes when you, the worker, might actually need government help, you are turned away as those people are being at the Astrodome!
