I say keep them on a bus route but charge them.
I wonder if he considered alternatives to Uncle stealing from other citizens to provide it. I dunno, maybe he could consider charities or something novel like that.
Simple question to this Mr. Ross: "When do you expect the Nanny Government to stop bottle feeding you?"
I didn't know there's anything in the United States Constitution about providing free bus transportation.
I wonder if all those buses sold on eBay.
Yeah, we saw the fine people of New Orleans fighting to keep things, alright. Their neighbours' TVs, stereos, game machines and booze, mostly.
A hurricane came to town, and they've been parked on their plush seats with their grasping hands out ever since.
Compare and contrast the news from Mississippi, which was hit equally hard; or the Alabama seacoast. "What news?" you may ask. Yeah, exactly.

“From the beginning, we’ve been fighting to keep being given things,” said Ross, president of the Renaissance Village advisory council.
What you should have been fighting for is to improve your situation, not maintain the status quo on my dime. It's been well over a year. Time to quit being a victim and start being the master of your own destiny.
They're trying to turn FEMA into another welfare agency. Time (past-time) for them to go to work and provide for themselves.
What's being asked for here? Is FEMA paying for buses to run around New Orleans (NO's public bus system was called RTA)? Or is FEMA paying RTA to run a route from Baton Rouge to New Orleans? (Never would be allowed when I was there....if you lived in Jefferson Parish the bus left you off once you crossed the Orleans Parish line and then you had to take RTA the rest of the way)...exception was that JT got the Airline Highway route and RTA got the Kenner loop.
Or did New Orleans promise to pay for additional bus service around Baton Rouge if Baton Rouge would take their evacuees and get FEMA to pay for it?
We're supposed to walk away from Iraq before the country is stabilized...yet we're supposed to continue providing assistance to katrina-scum indefinitely?
What would have happened to these people if they were born 100 years ago?
They obviously cannot care for themselves.
Why can't the residents get jobs and support "those babies"? Everybody else does. Keep the bus service but make them pay for it.
Actually, it has turned out that LA budget has quite a surplus ($827 mil) this year - let that nanny state take care of it's own for a change - leave the Feds out of it.
