contractors in exchange for more than $200,000 in kickbacks and first-class trips to Hawaii, Jamaica and Las Vegas.

That's the ideal choice of course. But when your clothes, your home, your car, your stockpile of food and water and meds, your job, your computer, your family member and pet are literally all swept away out from under you it would be decent to live in a country that actually cares enough to extend a hand until you get back on your feet.

It is Chuck Schumers fault!

Lmao!! Wow!

Sugar daddy Ray!!!!!! Ray!!

Those who want the government to take care of them? Needs to take a good hard look at the American Indian........Henry Ford 1922


The 500 has spoken go in peace!

In Dexter,MI we had a tornado come through last March. People were out of their homes in a number of instances for 5 mos. Rome wasn't built in a day and the repair of these damaged properties takes what to the layman is considered an exhorbitant amount of time but in reality it is not. If these people carried the necessary basic insurance they should have coverage for up to 9 mos. of housing at a modestly priced motel charging long term rates. If they went bare naked as far as insurance goes or trimmed corners to cut premiums they gambled and in this instance they lost. As to rebuilding it will take a 2 years plus to rebuild or renovate all of these properties. How long does it take to build a new home? Anywheres from a couple of months to a 1/2 a year and that is ONE HOUSE. Here we have thousands of properties in play. As a contractor who has undertaken renovation I can tell you it simply is not going to happen over night so to speak. As far as the insurance companies go for the most part they are dispicable. They are there johnny on the spot to collect premiums but the minute you have a claim the answer is it is not covered and you have to fight for every dime. The answer is go to the top. Start with the adjuster, go to his/her boss, then start up the corporate ladder. Call as many timesw a day as necessary. Contact your agency the ones who sold you the policy and try to enlist their aid with your problem. Last but not least band together and start legal action and throw the boo at them loss of property/income/pain and suffering/loss of sex life the whole ten yards.

Most of these think obl did 9/11 and you are crazy

Maybe this experience can make some of them deprogram

Of cource there out in the cold ! Thats what gubment does! Who is John Galt?

Excelent point! Lets hope it does!

Everyone wants someone to come save there day? How about rising up kicken off those heels and acting like you gotta pair! Rise up
America! Quit complaining! Just win!

While inflation eats away our ability to just keep our heads above water.

How about just kicken some good ol ass!!! One house got destroyed ! It was no hurricane Sandy Son! Get a grip there Dexter MI

i agree,its pathetic

The media doesn't give a damn about this because to do so they may have to criticize obammy and the will never do that regardless of how many people freeze.

:liberalmed89:

Why would you say Bush does not care about black people, show some of your proof. Bush gets blamed for everything. He has been gone for years.

yep all the destrucitons over for media

Wow that was mean! Birth or berth we got the gist.

the republicans held up the bill to get the freakin' pork that fucking democraps loaded into it, after they did that then IT PASSED.

but where has obama been since the election? he has managed to get out to vegas and pander to some hispanics, but what about ny/nj?

The .gov is being intentionally slow rebuilding because they need an excuse to start populating the FEMA Camps.

Hey GT my point is that there is no way that these problems can be solved quickly as the OP seems to think. One house may have been destroyed but at least 30 had various stages of damage with people out. This was a microcosim of Sandy and problems developed. To assume that the Pres can wave a magic wand and all will be well is ludicrous at its inception. This is long term shit and you do the best you can period.

I hear that your right just being I goof ! I know what your sayin!! Get Em!

A goof " typo" damm phones!

Confess. You just hate Obama because he's a beautiful and virile black man.

Just confess, you'll feel better.

I remember hurricane Sandy thread it was like a 128 pages of poeple saying? " this aint gonna be shit dude" lets go surphing? Well guess what dude??? Hurricane Sandy brought the chainsaw!!!!

Good Ol President " Dumbo" and his band of merry retards!!!!

Don't sweat it, FEMA got your back

Didnt Dumbo say no red tape on this thing??? Lmao??? Please America??? Pull head from dark and stinky?????

Good to all !!! Peace!!! The 500 is out!!!!
