An insurance settlement plus $41,000 taxpayer dollars plus what she says she's been putting into her house on her own and it's still not ready to move back? Her home wasn't even destroyed! It was damaged from flood waters, but it is still standing. Standing four years after the hurricane and she still lives in a FEMA trailer.
This is what gets me. If you read the story, it's all about how FEMA is "kicking her out" of the government trailer she's been living in for almost four years. Not one mention of where has the money she received gone? Not one question about why she is still there if things are so bad? No details about how badly the house was damaged or what has been done to fix it? No questions about why this person didn't take the money she received from insurance and Uncle Sam and move? Also no mention about what she has been doing to turn her life around. FEMA set these people up for free. She's been working for years since the hurricane, yet she hasn't been able to get her home up and ready to live in? Please.
Additionally, no thanks mentioned in the article to the government for putting her up for four years or for the money she received from the taxpayers. I'm sorry, I have no sympathy. In stories like these it's the details they leave out which leads me to believe she squandered most of the money she received and has been biding her time, milking things for as long as possible. Move on with your life and quite relying on someone else to take care of you. We've given you four years and you wasted it. You're on your own from now on.
This is the result of reliance and dependence on government.
