Too many are lazy, morally bankrupt and lacking of character and have given the good people of NO (IMO a minority) a bad name.
I suggest that you and mule are perfect examples of that.
IMO the federal support has run it's course and will never end unless something is done to change that. Too many people are more than willing to spend the rest of their lives complaining while living in federally funded housing, eating food paid for with federal funds, and living off the government that they have not contributed squat to. There are privately funded and saponsored programs that are providing help and will continue to do so, I just hope they are selective enough to help those first who deserve it the most.
Two years is long enough for federal funding. Two years is long enough to see that NO is perfectly happy to blame the federal government, the army corp of engineers, and anyone else who comes along but as a group is not willing to take personal responsibity.

See I told ya. All I threatened to do was make you look more stupid than you already did. And you walked right into it wearing an Alfred E. Newman grin (& spelling to match). You might as well be telling us about conditions on Mars. And I have no doubt you could. Your statements show you to be a cold, ignorant, small individual hoping to make yourself look better by making someone else look worse.
