Oh how I know this but in New Orleans. They would have nicer cars then us and living in the projects collecting checks not paying but 8 bucks for rent and selling drugs. When Katrina hit the people in public housing were told to get back into public housing you have to help rebuild. Over 75 percent did not come back. Everyone blamed Bush for Katrina too and it was not his fault it was the DEM gov who did not ask for Bush to come in that is the way it works but Bush took the hit. What you did not know the feds were waiting in other states for the governor to give the ok . It took her 3 weeks!!! The police were looting the Walmarts for shoes and Tvs. How do I know this because we housed a family for a month during Katrina and my brother still lives there and had 40K of damage to his house. They were smart enough to leave. You have NO excuse to leave . You know for days and days prior. The Mayor (another Dem) did not have a plan in place to evacuate but again it was Bushs fault. I knew in the 80s that the levys would not hold a Cat 3 or higher but so many stayed back just to loot. I heard from my own ears from a coworker who said their family stayed back to get theirs (loot) . I was shocked!!I'd like to see "term limits" on welfare as well. One year to get your feet back on the ground should suffice.
With frequent piss tests.
Some of these no-loads have been on food stamps for generations.
Alot of states have time limits don't know if they are enforced though, I know in Iowa the limit for welfare is 24 months however food stamps is a completely different program than welfare, there is no time limit on that.
When I was living in Norfolk years ago - back during my Navy days - the public housing downtown - incredible. People hanging around, doing nothing. A Cadillac in every parking space. Boozing it up. Hanging out. Looking for work ? Hell no.
