Visit a couple of times? I've lived there over 16 years and did so up until this past January. My in-laws have lived there for 90 years+....

So where did he get this information THAT EVERYONE is waiting for a government handout? Chertoff give it to him directly? Or was it O'l Brownie as Bush called him as he patted him on the back for such a job well done? Gee, no one involved with FEMA would be biased in how they represented the situation after doing such a good job down there....

You better go review a few things with your all knowing neighbor and coime back with some facts rather than second hand hear-say. It's truly pathetic you can't see the stupidity of a statement such as "Everyone down there is waiting for a handout" and actually want to continue your lame azz argument like it's a fact.
We've rebuilt 3 houses in our own family without one stinking red cent from the Government. My gripe is that the insurance company only paid about 60% of what they should have paid, and the Governent is not only responsible for the faulty levees but also in letting the Insurer's get away with that crap.
