FEMA, is this country Broke?

manny15 · Mar 27, 2006

LAST EDITED ON Mar-27-06 AT 01:52PM (MST)[p] Just heard about F.E.M.A wanting to pull out their entire temp housing for volunteers (tents) 1000?s of volunteers are helping clean up the mess down in New Orleans, contractors, laborers, and just feeding operations people could face sleeping in their vehicles, because FEMA says that it's not their responsibility to provide temp housing, if not them then who is??

Why is the Federal Emergency Response? Being so tight with the money, when we've spent Billions on Iraq, and can't afford to leave a few hundred tents down there for housing people who are helping clean the mess, Are we broke or what ?? I'm Pist! It makes no cense...

Yes, it's unbelievable. We have to ask ourselves if going broke trying to Democratize a country that obviously doesn't want to be is worth it. OBL wants to break this country and it is working. Now we are talking about taking out Iran. We are on a sinking ship if AWOL or any other Republican continues down this road. We have been in full speed reverse since 2000.

Not a personal attack on you guys just my opinion; Love it or Leave it. Even though things aren't perfect here, I can't think of anywhere I'd rather be.

Nor I, I'm just wondering the thinking on FEMA's part, if we can spend billions over seas why can't we do the same for our own people..?..

I agree 100 % Zigga. Remember the first patriots were protestors so I don't think the love it or leave it comment that follows your post holds much water. Catchy statement "Love it or leave it" just not accurate. How about if you love it change it to make it better.

Personally I think it is a waste of time to rebuild a city that is going to flood again anyhow, no matter how much money we throw at it. It is built below sea level in the middle of the freakin hurricane belt.

But your post Manny was not about FEMA in the first place, or you would have left Iraq out of it. Everyone knows where you and Molly Ivins stands on this president and his administration. Although I do find it humerous that you and your ilk never stop in your attempt to discredit "W" with every breath.

Manny,

FEMA needs to use the money to relocate people if there's no jobs available, otherwise we'll still be providing temporary housing ten years from now, or until the next hurricane levels all the trailers. Have them pick a city, pay their rent and food for 6 months and let them start making a living. With unemployment rates as low as they are, people can find a descent job...if they want one.

Read carfully here boys, FEMA is kicking out the volenteers, not the free loaders...there are business owner that haven't gotten any help from the insurance co. even still...

I did not see that. There are two sides to every story, and I'd like to see both sides before I form an opinion. I'm a republican and a veteran, but no Bush fan myself (Hillary and a lot of the Democrats scare the heck out of me, I like Macain SP?and Lieberman). I believe our two party system is hopefully doomed.
