If my house was blown away and someone offered me a 28 foot travel trailor for free. I would be grateful. I would camp out in it and then when I got my house re-built keep it for traveling. I lived in a mobile home in 82 . The roof was blown up during a hurricane and it flooded. We lived, with 3 kids in a hotel room at night and a pop up during the day while we repaired. No insurance. What's wrong with these people. Help yourself. FEMA wasn't designed to be a long time welfare.

I'm with you ... this is outrageous!

People really have to get over the government is Santa Claus mentality. Nothing like kicking a gift horse in the mouth - and that is exactly what they are doing. They should be grateful beyond words to have TEMPORARY housing till THEY get their act together and find another permanent home. I really don't understand these pocket pickers. You know darn well that what was destroyed was probably worse than the NEW trailer they are living in now - but no, they want a PERMANET home out of it.

I wish they'd just condem the areas typically affected by these storms and force people to get their acts together and move on. THIS is what America USED to be based on - you pick yourself up, and try again at your own expense.

#1) - I want to live 12' below sea level without any insurance

#2) - I want to live in tornado and hurricane and floodplain areas without any insurance

#3) - I want all you suckers to pay for my "temporary" housing and income and medical care and more kids and food eternally - A luxury ocean liner might be OK if you give me a new car and pay for my gourmet food and give me a few bucks for a few more years until I get over all of this stress

#4) - I want all you suckers to give me new permanent housing even though I only rented in New Orleans

#5) - After all - the "alternate lifestyle" New Yorkers were bailed out on Fire Island when their weekend homes fell into the ocean or were blown away

#5) - If you do this I will promise to vote for democrats

They think that FEMA means: "Father... Even Mother to All."
