[StBernard] American Nightmare

[Westley Annis]

I agree 100%.  The have nots are making out better than the have's (or so it
seems).

	Hi, 
	I just got to the bottom of the labyrinth of injustices I hav e only
heard of
	throughout my life, in fightng "city hall" and its all true. I could
spend
	a lifetime talking to 50 different people a day from FEMA and get a
	different answer everytime. What I have gleamed is that as an
upstanding
	tax-paying citizen, trying to do everything right, even donate to
the
	Tsunami fund, because I am "overqualified", cannot get a dime or a
trailer
	from FEMA. All my neighbors on welfare are gleefully spending their
$26,000
	and getting it on at the casinos and have not only one but two
trailers to
	accomodate their unemployed relatives, on a piece of land that will
be
	bull-dozed. All we need is maybe 10,000 to reinstall heat and air
and
	appliances and we can do the rest ourself. We have gotten no
trailer, and
	only told we can have a loan at the tune of 760.00 a month on top of
our
	mortgage of 813.00 and new truck payment of 450.00 and the 400.00 a
month in
	gas it is costing my husband to drive to N.O. to work. I am gett ing
the
	feeling that its better to be a have-not and stand in line for
hand-outs
	because living the "American Dream" has just become the "American
Nightmare"
	Thanks for listening, Msmudpie of Saint Bernard
