Super good news for Katrina victims… The Dept. of Housing and Urban Development will allow the residents to purchase FEMA Trailers for $5 or less. Also the residents will be targeted for $50 million in permanent housing vouchers. The money for the vouchers was appropriated by Congress last year.

Too bad it won't help them stand on their own.
No one can victimize a Democrat like other Democrats.

This is insane.

It's been nearly four years since Katrina. They've had time to get their lives together. Why can't we make them stand on their own?

I heard something on the local radio that mentioned the gov. could be looking into foreclosure homes to place Katrina victims. Is this for real?? I cannot believe this ignorance. Will someone please tell me the reason they are still getting assistance. If there is in fact a logical reason, I would like to understand the circumstances.

They are black and poor. The government has provided for them all their lives, they are still waiting.

Everyone needs to take note of the Democrat ethic: to cripple the disadvantaged through complete dependency of their subjects.

In the end, it's just another way to perpetuate power.
