(BAY ST. LOUIS, Miss.) - Some people receiving FEMA assistance admitted to NBC 15 cameras thet they are getting a free ride and not looking for work. We asked one of the nation's top democrats, Speaker of the House, Nancy Pelosi, where your tax dollars are really going.

When NBC 15 News first met Gwenester Malone a month ago, she was receiving three catered meals a day, while housekeepers made sure her hotel room stayed clean. None of it was costing her a dime.

"Since the storm, I haven't had any energy or pep to go get a job," Malone said, "but when push comes to shove, I will."

The video on this is really appalling. A part of me can believe this, but if anyone ever had any doubts about Pelosi, this will set them free.

Since she's wasting MY tax dollars, I'll be glad to provide her with a 'shove' .........

If that woman cuts back to two free meals a day and drops 40 lbs, she may have a little more pep

Congress has repeatedly refused to allow FEMA to cut off support of these deadbeats. CONGRESS is the problem and to a lesser degree, FEMA.

” I haven’t had any energy or pep to go get a job,” Malone said, “but when push comes to shove, I will.”

......of course, and who can blame her?..it looks like her basic needs are being taken care of by the state....and all that does is create lassitude....her next phase will be discontent...complaining that the state needs to do even more...that will be followed by organizing with other complainers into a group “demanding” their “rights” to better housing, better meals ect.ect.

And people call me bitter when I tell them how pissed-off I am that I have to pay for these sloths (and multi-generational welfare recipients, and all the other leeches out ther) or risk losing my home, assets, liberty, and possibly life (depending on how far I'd take it).

In other words, she's not going to work until someone FORCES her to do so.

It's LONG past time for Congress to make these folks go back to work. I have family members and friends who were back at work the next week, even though their houses were severely damaged, or completely destroyed.

If those folks can't find jobs on the Coast, they can relocate to another city and find a job there, as thousands of their fellow Mississippians had to do when their places of businesses ended up in the Gulf of Mexico.

“...i need some tutoring...”

Forget it! You have too much pride and self respect. You’d never be a good free loader.

Try not to take it too hard. It could be worse, you know.

that will be followed by organizing with other complainers into a group “demanding” their “rights” to better housing, better meals ect.ect.

At which the most important person in the entire process, the mythical community organizer will arrive on the scene to resolve the situation ... thus qualifying them for the presidency.

Wow. At the end of the video, they report they were chastised by a staffer for asking questions that weren’t pre-approved. How dare they do that to Queen Nancy. Those reporters are supposed to be on her side.

When I was a boy an old man told me that if you hired a bum to come sit under a tree all day and do nothing, after a time he/she would start complaining and wondering why they had to come to the tree, why couldn't they just stay home and do nothing. People without character will always gravitate to the lowest denominator.
