I have to disagree with you. As I said earlier my large family is from LA. Most lived in St. Bernard Parish - they have lost everything they've worked for all of their lives. You may believe they want a handout and are anxious to climb on to the government gravy train, but you are wrong.

They want to recover from the emotional loss, to grieve for the loss of my aunt's parents who drowned, to reconnect with family members now flung across the country and then they want to file insurance claims for their lost homes, cars and belongings.

Then they'll be ready to decide on whether to move to another state, to press their local and state politicians to build Netherlands style style floodgates and levees.

Yes there will be some people who will still expect handouts, who are taught to be dependent on government. Those people are in every state in this country, so should we never rebuild, resettle or helps others because there are greedy people?

So glad you posted. We need to put faces with the statistics. Other than the one the MSM are giving us of looter and shooters....... My step daughter too lost her home........My prayers for your family....
