(11,464 posts)the questions are not non-sensical.
they are trying to figure out just how logistically this is anything more than two tokes over the line dreaming but ultimately nothing accomplished except for possible good press(which I suspect is why this is being done).
You need a money trail, and you need to know who/what/why gets a handout.
(and then what do you do with the people who already paid, seems unfair they did not get a handout when just because one is honest, it is held against them.)
BTW-in New Jersey there is a big backlash against Sandy charity, in that people from poorer areas see these rich upper middle class kids waltz in and assume they are needy cases just
because they lost their home.
Most people in NJ who lost their homes on the shore have a #1 home elsewhere.
These homes were just summer homes.
And how many poor people do you know with two homes.
(why people want to press with the travel each weekend to get to the shore is beyond me, but there are 100s of thousands it appears.)
But poor they are not. And they don't wish to be treated as such. It's degrading.
