Blaming the poor people who just happen to live there and have suffered as a result of government neglect is pretty low. |

You are way off base with your post...Yes, initially the reaction of the govt to the problem was not good, but then it kicked in and went overboard in the other direction...Now they feel the govt owes them...Thr hurricane was over 2 years ago and thousands have done nothing except live in their govt supplied housing...house trailer, hotel rooms or paid apts...It is time to get off the public dole..Enough...If nothing is done, the welfare state called New Orleans will go on forever...
Also another fact..the population of NO is now about 50% of the pre hurricane population but they still want morew and more..Get od\ff the dole and get a life..
