I'm I missing something here?

[Geo55]

FEMA has trailers (thousands) sitting in Arkansas....people from Katrina are being kicked into no-where land......am I in a parallel world here ?

1. Didn't you get the message....We are living in the Twilight Zone!!

It's criminal that those trailers are not being used...

The * cabal wants the Katrina victims to disappear....

[sinkingfeeling]

2. YEs, there are acres and acres of mobile homes setting in Arkansas.

Be quiet. Keep your head down.

STOP MAKING SENSE, DAMMIT!!!

4. Erm..well, New Orleans is in a flood zone.

FEMA isn't supposed to put trailers in a flood zone. :eyes:

The folks running this government need to have their critical thinking skills adjusted for the reality based world. But with George&Co, I don't think that is going to happen any time soon. This government is FUBARed.

7. zackly,

even a child would brake it's "adult" rules in the face of such logic...
don't give me any "litigation" crap.....worried about it? ,
make 'em sign a waver, ..I'm sure 99.9% would.

5. It really is criminal

The MSM has reported this and few politicians have asked questions about it, but there has been been no outrage about it. The ports deal has fired up everyone, but this hasn't. Thousands of people, Americans, kicked into no-where land, $300,000,000 worth of trailers rotting. There are no words that adequately express the insanity.

6. Beam me up!

I read that and thought I'd lost my mind, too! We have homeless people--and empty trailers--and can't bring them together? I absolutely don't get it...

[sinkingfeeling]

8. And it's only been 6 months....my, but wasn't FEMA and Bush prepared.

10. When I was living in Santa Monica when the voters first

instituted rent control, many apartment landlords reacted by closing up their buildings and refusing to rent to anyone. Yet, the streets and beaches were crawling with homeless. Some of the buildings went empty for years.

Also, there were old boarded-up buildings lining the beach that had once been hotels that were perfectly functional yet they went empty. These too could have provided halfway housing for homeless families. Our legislators just can't bring themselves to come up with a solution to this problem and there is a solution, but they won't do it.
