Judge Creates New Rights
Well, isn't that special. Everyone out there who wants free housing payments for life, just go put yourself in the way of a natural disaster. Because if you do, you will have THE RIGHT to free housing for the rest of your life (and maybe your children's lives, too).
So says US District Judge Richard J. "It's not my money" Lean, as he ORDERS FEMA to resume payments to all Katrina victims becausehe Federal Emergency Management Agency failed to adequately explain why it ended the 18-month housing assistance program
In other words, until FEMA PROVES they had a reason that satisfies this one judge's personal opinion, they are required to continue paying out cash. But wait, there's more. The judge agreed that
FEMA had violated the rights of Katrina victims by abruptly stopping housing payments.
So you've got that right. These people now have a RIGHT to YOUR money. You need to either word harder and earn more money that will be taken from you and given to these people because they have a right to your cash; or, just put yourself in the path of another hurricane and suddenly have the right to free housing payments forever. The right thing to do here? President Bush (who is in charge of FEMA) should tell the judge to take a long walk off a short pier. Then he should completely dismantle and abolish FEMA so there's no one left to pay the money.

Here we go again -- in the private sector, they have this item called "homeowners' insurance". I know it exists because I have a policy myself. Didn't these folks know about it? hadn't anyone told them?
On the same note, at least several million people, including me, donated money through one venue and another for Katrina relief -- that's the American way, or the way it's supposed to be; donate with your check book, not your taxes. In this way, the taxpaying public, as a whole, determines what we can afford to give.
This judge is just another one of those socialist parasites devoted to milking the government and therefore the taxpayer.
It's becoming increasingly more difficult to maintain any respect for the courts in this country, what with the rubbish that finds its way onto the bench these days, and passes for judges.

Why do you have insurance? You don't need any. If you need anything or lose anything, just ask the government and they will take it from me and give it to you. That's their job, apparently.
