Get off the federal teat, dammit! Take some responsibility for your own lives, for once! Stand-up and do what you need to do to get your disrupted lives back together and get on with it!
Oh wait, we're talking about NOLA here, aren't we? Never mind... As you were, parasites.

If Mexican's can come here and start working right away and get an apartment, why can't someone who speaks the language do that???

Just like when they want to extend unemployment benefits. There are people who need it, but alot people won't look for a job as long as they can hang off the governments nipple.

Maybe if FEMA would send the snowbirds that are squatting in government trailers home, it would free up space for those in hotels.

Local news has shown several of the about to be evicted people. They weren't totally indepth interviews, yet most appeared able to do some kind of work. I know from first hand knowledge how much paperwork goes into dealing with ins and FEMA, yet I would have to ask why they weren't doing something to earn wages in between dealing with beaurocrats? (the ones that could, not the legitimately disabled.)

Snowbirds squating in FEMA trailers? I'm going to have to read up on that. (and i'm not just looking for another reason to be annoyed by snowbirds!lol)
RE: FEMA trailers. There is about an acre of them sitting empty in Baldwin County (Robertsdale or Silverhill i think) according to my Hubby, I haven't been that way lately.

About 10,500 families, or 88 percent, have received rent-assistance checks from FEMA.... The cash can be used to pay for an apartment or to continue their hotel stays. It also can be put toward fixing their ruined homes.LMAO!!!
Now what do you suppose most of these people are going to do with that taxpayer money?
To: ncountylee
Cutting off room service after only 5 months!

They are driving new trucks and buying their own homes. Remember when President Fox said, they're(mexicans) willing to take jobs that "even blacks" won't do. I live in Texas and I now look at construction sites and notice who is working and I have to say, Fox was right!

As long as they are living at govt expense in hotel rooms across the USA, there's no reason for them to go back to NOLA and rebuild is there?
Now they'll just have to.
Been fun, but the party's over!

Attorneys for the evacuees tried unsuccessfully to get U.S. District Judge Stanwood Duval to issue a temporary restraining order aimed at forcing FEMA to continue the direct hotel payments. Or, in the vernacular, "Attorneys for the deadbeats tried unsucessfully to get another punch on their ticket for the Gravy Train."

One excuse I heard this morning on the idle trailers is they can't put them in a flood plain. duh.

They got to put them on a hill where a tornado will sweep them away.
I see a lot of these bad boys going up and down the interstate highways and I wonder what happens when they really do become housing. Were the hell does the sewage go? Where do the get electric power?(They set up a sub station at the traier park?) Are these puppies strapped down and grounded according to regulations? What happens to these units once it occupants move to their new home?
