#1 well, no shit... you going to give someone a free gravy train then be surprised when they dont go back to the old life...

that is why the safety net always turns into a hammock for the under class.

#2 With all due regard, if you were a business owner would you want any of these folks on YOUR payroll? Heck, if I saw them just walking down my street I'd be making sure nothing stealable was laying around and that I had a gun handy.

Face it, there ARE lazy, feckless, worthless bastards laying around and they'll be happy to live off the fat of the land as long as the taxpayer will let them. Why do you think we have families who have been on welfare for three generations?

#3 Ah, the outlines of the Obamaplan(tm).

Face it, there ARE lazy, feckless, worthless ~~ACORN registered voting~~ bastards laying around and they'll be happy to live off the fat of the land as long as the ~~ward healers can rob from you to support it~~ taxpayer will let them.

Don't worry, in the near future the ~~ward healers~~ politicians will get judges to simply dictate that they are 'mandated' to do it.

#4 Why do you think we have families who have been on welfare for three generations?

Three? Please! I worked Katrina for the SBA-DAO. I had four generations sitting at the tables saying: "Where's my check?!". These people were stunned to hear that they had to pay the money back.

Most of them had never worked a day in their lives. However, a substantial number of them had been to Cosmetology School (the women) and Truck Driving School (the males), all on the tax payers dime. Parasites. Damn near all of them. And the ones I met that had worked for what they had, despised "them" to no end.

Way past time to make some dramatic changes in this country. Affirmative action, diversity, multiculti...etc. etc. has got to go.

#5 Illegal immigrants do the work Americans won't do, because the Americans get paid to stay in a hotel and eat free. Right after Katrina I saw Mexicans living six-to-a-motel-room (no hot water), eating canned beans and working clearing trees and gutting flooded houses for owners and tenants who were living elsewhere on my dime and doing nothing. nstead of deporting the illegal Mexicans can we deport the lazy Americans? I'll even make it a two-for-one offer.

#6 Three years of hotel and catering bills probably cost more than any of their (government provided) pre-Katrina houses were worth.

#7 Define 'worth', ed. What it would cost you or me to buy something comparable on the open market? Not valid. These were mostly GOVERNMENT homes - so they are worth what it would cost you or me, the taxpayer, to rebuild or buy. At least double, plus the sweeteners to Bill Jefferson and half his family.
