A friend’s e-mail:
Three and one-half years after Katrina there are still 17,000 former New Orleans parasites living in hotels and motels. They’ve been there for 42 months .. and just can’t seem to find a way to get out and get their own housing. Not only that, but there are still another 8,000 people living in temporary housing who can’t claw their way out as well. How would YOU define these people? Sterling citizens? Worthy Americans? No ... they’re human parasites. They are the people who made New Orleans the most welfare-dependent people in this country .. the people who brought New Orleans its sky-high crime rates ... and now Obama has given these people another 60-day extension in their hotels, motels and temporary housing.
Change you can believe in?
Holy crap! Katrina hit in August of 2005!
How long does it take to, “get back on your feet?”
When Gustav came through this last year a bunch of people from NO were brought here to a Red Cross shelter. They were thrilled to be here and shortly after arrival asked when they would be getting their “financial assistance cards”. (The Red Cross often gives people in a disaster a pre loaded credit card for use to replace clothing, household items, and food if you aren’t in a shelter.)
We very patiently explained that they had not been plucked off a rooftop, and they should have brought their own clothing. This time they were getting *food* (provided by us) and *shelter*. Nothing more.
