I know the gov't has given the Katrina victims much more than victims of other disasters, and that there are people in other states still waiting for help from past hurricanes, tornadoes, etc. That's very unfair.
Yes, this woman should be grateful she has a nice home to live in. I think the newspaper is pushing this story for its own purposes. And yes, there are certainly residents of these cities who could use the help that the Katrina victims are getting.
All that said, I saw her problem as one that could be fairly easily solved with resources already available. And not knowing her, I tried to offer a solution instead of dismissing her.
Got'cha! ;o)
Eventually, apron strings need to be cut. These people aren't going to voluntarily get of the government dole.
