You know, there are always those who are able to escape their background, but that is not the case for the vast majority.

But, yes, I am saying that our country should provide shelter, food and basic services for a period of time for those who are wiped out.
And I believe that something needs to be done about those who can't recover. I don't want them on the streets. We can sit and talk for days about those people and why it is that way and I doubt we would ever come to an agreement. Yes, it may be their fault for making bad choices to live in NOLA and to be unemployed and have no education and no insurance, but every society has these people. And I think that if it means using federal funds to build low/no income housing to eventually turn over to the city or state, then so be it.
