pearcy devil...I never said give the homeless a free handout. If you go back and read my other post again, I said to help them become PRODUCTIVE members of society. That means working and paying their way and putting back from which was given! I believe in helping others but I don't believe in giving a constant free handout to those that are healthy and are quite capable of working and putting back into our society! Those trailers could be used a temporary home for those trying to get on their feet..not a permanent thing. It could be monitored. They could also be made work to pay something back for keep to stay there. Point being...it COULD be used as a way to help those that WANT to get on their feet.

Stop blaming FEMA. They cannot do what they are not legally authorized to do. It simply is not legal for them to sell or give away the new mobile homes. They can auction off the used travel trailers because the law allows them to do so. FEMA is only doing its job. Congress must act to change FEMAs authority in these matters.

Again, Imagine this government beauracracy in dealing with health care. Do you really want that? Do you really think that is a good idea? and if your thinking about giving these trailers to poor people, It would also have to be set up w/utilities, and then it would have to be maintained. If you cant afford a mobile home, you likley don't have a lot or land to put it on, and you likley cant pay the high electric bills because these arent efficient at all.

FEMA should simply sell to the highest bidder and keep a few hundred of each on standby for the next big storm.

This is just one aspect of the wasting of our tax dollars; there's thousands upon thousands of other situations of our government wasting money.....something they are experts at.

They better not give these homes to mexicans to live in. The least they can do is work, even if it is illegally. They are already getting free health care and a whole host of other freebies!!!
