I am. Unfortunately, I have been guilty of it myself and intend to stop. But this particular item about Houston is bizarre - how exactly are they profiting from this? Did Houston really need 30,000 people without jobs, homes or money to suddenly move to their city?

The Democratic Party certainly did - instant constituents, for as long as they can keep them poor.

Its kind of like accusing foster parents of taking in children for the money.

I bet the NYT is thinkin that all that gubmint money given to these unfortunates will be spent in Houston, and therefore it is taking advantage of money that could have been given to New York.
