[QUOTE="peanutbutter12, post: 26118368, member: 4765"] Not to mention all the crap that happened with FEMA, the ungrateful idiots who spent the money given to them on unneeded things such as alcohol, drugs, and $500 purses, the fact that there have been so many reports of people exploiting other peoples generosity, most recently a lady who was given a house in, I believe it was the Chicago area, by a church who really felt for her, has 2 kids and another on the way, spent all her FEMA money, and was given several job opportunities over the past year in which she TURNED THEM ALL DOWN, then has the nerve to go to the press when the church says that she has to get out of the house because they have given her more than enough time to find work and get back on her feet and she has not. I am fully aware there were plenty of victims in this situation as well. We had a couple business associates and ministers who lost everything down there, people who watched as FEMA passed them over in favor of giving large sums of money to idiots while they got a portion of what they needed to rebuild, but the majority of these people have already moved on. They saw a bad situation and delt with it the best they could, and now, a year later, they have built or are building new lives. No, I don't believe we should send a great deal of money into rebuilding that city. They exploited the money we did give to them, why give them more? CJ [/QUOTE]
