I am outraged!  Take a look at the GSA website at most of the FEMA trailers for sale.  They are so torn up!  And why?!  Because the people possessing them were of NO character!    As part of the tax paying public, I helped pay for these trailers!  Now, I get junk in return!  I believe those people should be held responsible.  The same ones we helped survive a natural disaster should be held accountable for the condition of these trailers that we, the tax paying public, paid for!  I don't think they should be put in prison.  I think every one of them should be tried and when convicted should pay restitution, even if it takes them 20 years!  If they were on social services of any kind, they should lose social services for life!   If they are working, they should be required to pay back every penny!  There is no reward of entitlement for tearing up FEMA trailers.  Why should my tax dollars support someone who thinks so little of what we give them and so little of the system that they abuse it so badly?  Personally, I believe that some of the people we helped were of good character and quality, but the majority took total advantage of the situation.  It makes me sick to my stomach to think there are so many out there that would do what these people have done.  Expecting and demanding that we do it again if another disaster comes along! 

 
What's wrong with us?   Are we such a rich country that we can afford to keep buying trailers, housing, and shelter for so many ingrates?  We should dump them on the street and let them fend for themselves! 

History is full of times where cities were destroyed and the people had to rebuild without any outside help to speak of.  If you need a history lesson, look in the 1800's and early 1900's from blizzards, tornadoes, and hurricanes when the people came together and helped each other rebuild.  Now look at New Orleans.  Nobody wants to help themselves, they just want to sit and bitch (and tear up FEMA trailers) because they have nothing, running to every town/city in the country instead of standing up and getting it done!
