It has been said, "The poor are alwyas with us." Surely, this is the case here. While Mr. Herbert tries to sound sympathetic and understanding it is apparent he has the same problem as most people.

We have no real solution for the underclass penchant to be "free riders." That is, throughout history we have become accustomed to identify and punish people who didn't do their part. In the past this was crucial for small groups of humans to live.

We still have the ability to identify "free riders" but we no longer have the will or belief that punishing them is the way to go. A dilema not easily solved even though many will opine with simple slogans.

"They look for all the world like internment camps." We are a bad, bad country for not putting these poor folks into esthetically pleasing 6,000 square-foot ranch houses on golf courses and allowing them to stay there for the rest of their lives on the public dime.

Okay New York Slimes, you're right. They still shouldn't be in gubmint trailers. They should have been kicked out six months ago and told to get a freakin' job.

Huh? What's that? Oh... you didn't mean that. Uh-huh, I see now. Yeah a gubmint furnished Mansion with Maids would be better. Might as well throw in a Limo and Chauffeur too.

More than a year after the catastrophe of Hurricane Katrina, thousands of the poorest victims from New Orleans are still living in these trailer parks run by the Federal Emergency Management Agency.

Meanwhile, the spanish speaking population of New Orleans has exploded due to the large number of hispanics that have moved there to WORK on the rebuilding.

The imagery is never-ending for these libs. Meanwhile Mississippi and Alabama are recovering quietly.

I guess Jimma Carter and his Habitat for Certain Members of Humanity group have been sleeping on the job. I would have thought these trailers would have already been replaced by welfare mini-mansions with built-in pools.

Of course, there's that controversy about whether or not to put the large pillars out front, since it would take up valuable porch-sitting, 40 ouncer-sipping space. I can see how that would be racist.

Meanwhile in Houston, Texas the survivors of the "Katrina Holocaust" remain 100% committed to not looking for work and are demanding more FEMA checks.

I seriously doubt that armed guards would be stationed there unless they were NEEDED.

Tell me, who created the need?

In America, it takes serious effort to be included in the underclass. If they spent half as much effort trying to succede, they'd be middle class.

The sad thing is they are probably happy to live this way forever.
