This article paints with a pretty broad brush. Thousands of people were affected, and some for the rest of their lives. It will take years to recover from this disaster. My heart goes out to the victims. To focus on the minority of free-loaders diminishes the magnitude of this tragedy.
Boo fricking hoo. What makes this one so special? What about the California Earthquake a few years back? What about Fla that gets hit dang near every year? Wha about the wildfires that destroy so much every year? What about all the individual Katrinas that happen to a lot of people -- losing jobs, flooded out, fire destroying a home, etc. etc. etc.
Is Uncle Sugar going to put his (our) hand out for every sparrow that falls?
