#1 Most of them have never made a house payment in their lives anyway. You'll be paying for them one way or the other for the rest of their lives. Welfare or relief, it's your choice, but their kind don't work.

#3 saying FEMA had violated the rights of Katrina victims by abruptly stopping housing payments

The hell? Which amendment guarantees housing?

#4 Nice scam these parasites have going.
Man, if we ever have a hurricane up here, I'll be outside in the middle of it tearing my house down with a backhoe just to make sure I can get in on this.

#5 tu3031 - no need to tear down your house, just go to the next hurricane disaster zone and claim you have been displaced, that would work.

It helps mightily if you're black...er...uh, one of the protected classes.

Nope. You do actually have to prove residency. The only way it could work, is if he had family in the disaster area.

I worked two Hurricane seasons with the SBA Disaster Assistance Office, and we always shared space and worked hand-in-hand with FEMA. If you are not a minority and have any means at all you get kicked over to the SBA's Disaster Loan program. You might get some immediate assistance from FEMA, but it ain't much.

Katrina/Rita was a weird deal, a lot was done that was atypical of how things normaly get handled. While I was in Shreveport, LA I encountered numerous families that had been on welfare for four or more generations*. Never worked a day in their lives. They'd come over and want to fill out loan apps for getting a business back up and running. Yeah right. All of the womens were cosmotologists, and the guys truck drivers.

*(Great Grandma (60ish), Daughter, Grand Daughter and Great Grand daughter (teens) with a baby on her hip) I guess that's really five generations.

Funny thing, I used to drive a big rig, and none of these yahoos knew the first thing about driving, and the womens didn't know anything about cosmotology (one of my loan officers was a retired cosmotologist). They would sit there and lie, lie, lie. When you called them on it, they'd just say: "Where my check?". Some of the most worthless human beings I've ever encoutered.

A little known fact, most of the people that work these disasters are temporary employees that work the disaster seasons. You can make GREAT $$$'s, but they (the Gubmint) nearly kill you with the hours. 10 - 12 hours a day, 7 days a week for as long as the need exists.
