Most of these are adults I presume. What are they doing after six months ... waiting for someone else to solve their problem? I suspect there are lots of reasons for this (or rationalizations if you prefer), but any adult who allows their condition to last longer than a couple of months -- especially if children are involved -- either chooses to do so or has accepted that they must become dependents of the state. I would relocate and work three jobs before I would subject my family to something like this and for this long.

It is a national disgrace that in post-9/11 America, virtually every victim of a disaster, man-made or otherwise, expects a huge payout from the government.
