I’m a bit confused by these stories. Haven’t they registered with the Texas/Houston DHS?

Because these parasites....err...people never intended to get back on their feet. They wish to continue suckling the gubmint teat, Gina, without doing anything except complain.

will require tenants to start contributing to their rent payments March 1.
Oh the humanity! Imagine that? Poor entitled freeloaders will be so put upon as to contribute to their own keep? *grumble*

It is very hard for me to feel sorry for people who insist on living in a bowl that is under sea level and prone to hurricanes. If you don’t like it, move! Oh and by the way, you are not VICTIMS! You chose to live in a bowl that is under sea level and prone to hurricanes!

Self-reliance would fix a lot of these screwed up lives.

It’s been two and a half years. Just how long does it take to get back on one’s feet? This learned helplessness just infuritates me. And the part-time cashier with 7 kids. The youngest is 18 months old, which means mom conceived well after Katrina. Can’t afford the 6 she already has, has no place to live and no job, so she shoots out another one, then complains about not getting enough government help.

''How did this happen when all these people were supposed to be getting help and getting back on their feet?" asked Gina Martin, who heads a support group for former New Orleanians called the Houston-Katrina Survivor's Council. It's been two freaking years, Gina. Some poeple just don't want to help themselves and I'm tired of paying for your useless selves!

Haynes said she can't afford to help Hickman any longer.
"We've given until it hurts," she said. So have we. It's been over two years. What have these people done to get on their feet?

You're wrong: that wheel doesn't have the flashy rotating blades.

“More than two years after Hurricane Katrina...”
I think that should be more than enough time to supply aid to help someone get back on their feet.
Here is a clue...you have to do something for yourself too.
Heaven forbid!!!

You chose to live in a bowl that is under sea level and prone to hurricanes! Every major city has these...they are called welfare recipients. The flood Katrina caused merely washed them out of New Orleans. Have a major disaster in any major city of this magnitude and you will see the exact same thing...regular, hard working people putting their lives back together as well as welfare parasites screaming and demanding that we give give give.

Three adults and two children were huddled under an awning, clutching luggage and looking lost. Mystified, she stopped her car. They told her they were former New Orleanians and that the family had been evicted from its northwest Houston apartment after losing federal housing assistance. Haynes was shocked.Does a Hurricane entitle them to free housing forever? I guess so.
