The able-bodied should be part of the solution and not helpless victims. When I was just a pup we had the blizzard of 1978 up in New England: For several days no heat, services,open stores, three feet of snow with drifts that buried people in their cars. Our whole neighborhood got together, and shovels in hand, went out to start rescuing people and digging the elderly out of their homes and bring them needed items. No looting, no complaining, no demands for faster assistance. The fiber of America has weakened over the last 27 years: too many people act negligently, do not heed advice, prepare, or feel they have a noble role to play in the face of disaster or even simpler adversity.

What happend to American self sufficiency, ingenuity, initiative, work-ethic, neighborliness, can do attitude? It seems the "great society" was a collosal failure (other than insuring democratic votes)
We should all learn a prepare for a possible next disaster and not depend on our government to do everything for us.
Next we take care of the liberal judges and take our country back. Law and order, no PC, few long term handouts.

Yes the government needs to put every able bodied refugee to work cleaning up and rebuilding New Orleans
