I don't know why people here are assuming everyone in the Astrodome was on public assistance. Most of them are probably just poor, with no savings, and have now lost their jobs. With $2000 they could look for a job and get out of the Astrodome by making a deposit on an apartment. The more able will probably be out of there quickly and it will be a terrific example to the others to show similar initiative. The dysfunctional, well, they would be that way no matter where they end up.
Please excuse my bluntness are you living in the real world or the world hill&bill built?
The smart people evaced and the dumb stayed. The only good thing is our tax dollars will be used here at home instead of some other third world country.
Ignorance is no excuse and as to NOLA,"I do not know you and therefore I do not owe you."
Mississippi was hit far harder, but I do not see the anarchists popping out of the wood work.
My words to NOLA get a friggin J-O-B, do not put on your sunglasses, light up a kool and sit on your ass. ""This is not the promise land for the welfare class.
In my neck of the woods I have already ready seen the scam players come into our churches looking for a handout.
It ain't gonna work down here and when people develop an attitude thinking I owe them, they can go straight to hell!!!!
You can give them all your savings, if you like. It may make you get that feel good feeling.
Charity begins at home for my own real brothers and sisters, not to some P.C. idealogical touchy feely syndrome.
One only fails in life when they fail themselve's.
