Go for it!

After all you're not qualified for the latest round of BushCo tax cuts.*


*Only those who are card carring memebrs of the GOP and own/owned vacation property in the affected areas need apply. See fine print for further details.

* as seen before on real live TV

were in your home before the hurricane. Things are just working out so excellently for you! I'm so happy for you!!!

Super dome to Astro dome next maybe a place with a more private bath situation perhaps something with walls.

:crazy:

Considering where I came from and all

Just don't get too used to Houston. They don't want your kind there. Too scary for them.

Plastic, that's the way to go!

How we'd love to stroll in your alligator boots.

new friends and all. good post. :rofl:

I'm just sayin

:shrug:

I'm guessing it's much less.

Charities responded at times even more rapidly than the government, distributing an unprecedented $2.7 billion, and caught some people who would have fallen through the cracks, such as undocumented workers or those without insurance. They also increased attention and services for mental health issues, an area that has been underserved in past disasters.

There were, at times, duplication of efforts and benefits among charities, a problem that was recognized and addressed through the creation of the United Services Group.

But a lack of coordination led to disparities in compensation. Civilians killed or seriously injured received a total of $8.7 billion, averaging about $3.1 million per recipient, coming mostly from the Victims' Compensation Fund.

On edit:

Here is another....

FLEMMING and another defendant, LONNIE RANSOM, then drove vanloads of the "workers" to relief sites around the city and the "workers" applied for benefits. RANSOM would stay with the "workers" to ensure that they did not walk off with the relief checks, which ranged from $3,000 from Safe Horizon to a maximum of $6,645 from the Red Cross. The checks were then turned over to FLEMMING who cashed them at his bank. In return for the checks, FLEMMING kicked back a small portion of the checks, ranging from $100 to $1,100 to the homeless men and women. FLEMMING has been charged with stealing a total of $108,905.28 from the charities in this fashion.http://www.manhattanda.org/whatsnew/press/2002-04-09.htm


So, apparently they recieved more than $2,000. What a surprise!

At least the survivors had homes to go home to.
I know you were being facetious, but that is irritating the hell out of me why people don't understand that this was so much worse than 911, in casualties, in property damage, etc.
But I will admit, I felt unsafe after 911.
But I feel unsafe AND unprotected NOW.

I would have all the TVs I could carry and get out of the waste deep water surrounding my old place (getting them all onto the rescue boats would have taken lots of talking huh?) and onto the transport bus/plane and then I could sell it off in Houston (where no one else would have such a supply). Plus I would have the "diaper windfall" not to mention the fabulous wealth from all the shoes.....hold it that gives me an idea....CONDI CAN BUY THEM!!! She will apparently buy anything.

credit charges kick in--

I wonder how much the minimum payment is? They have to pay it back, right? Maybe take it out of their foodstamps alotment?

gd, I hope not! But I wouldn't doubt it.

Please let us know where you will be vacationing, and you MUST send us a post card.

French Riviera?

The Coral Reef?

THe Hamptons?

the restaurants in the Hamptons DO take Food stamps, right?

FEMA has contacted everyone and they will give you VIP treatment.

You will live like a queen from now on, you truly are BETTER off!

:rofl: :rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl:

per local Houston news.

They must have focus grouped/polled on that and found that $2,000 was the golden goose to their base.

I have to admit the first I heard of this it was $1,500. When everyone started saying $2,000 I should have known something was up.

Read this:
http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=104&topic_id=4694501&mesg_id=4694501

I know this just the beginning of payments though. I hope.

You really can't put anything past this administration anymore.

From what I hear on Fox News, NOLA was filled with loser welfare cases. With 2 grand you can probably not only buy replacement loved ones, but they'll be upgraded loved ones too!
:sarcasm:


However, you should be aware that the IRS will be looking for it's slice of that $2,000 come April, 2006. Just FYI.
Not :sarcasm:

You'd burn right through it.

Federal income tax and FICA 34%, medicare 6%, state income tax 14%, poor tax 15%, death tax 11%, state sales tax 6%, tank of gas 19.9%...

Line 27. you owe $841.32

Please count your blessings and send that check out by April 15th, or we will draft your first born and send him to Iraq...

EDIT...That is all!

:grr:

A good portion of it will go back into taxes. I wouldn't be surprised if these cards are considered as income and these folks will be held liable to report it as a gift and have to pay on it next April.

And remember this is $2,000 PER FAMILY, not individual. Someone with a family of 5 gets the same as someone with no children.

:sarcasm:

Which of course means Crystal Meth

Lucky for me and my kind we are really good at "finding" bread and soda and that sort of thing.

:sarcasm:

Every single purchase you make with that card will be logged by the feds.

I wrote Fruit of the Loom. They said they were donating new underpants. Hope you get some Undie!!

must be working out very well for you, huh?


:sarcasm:

or so I hear

<chuckle>

:grr:

bearnaise sauce, and an extra sprinkling of shallots, chervil and tarragon.

oh JAMES!!!

I hear the Astrodome is awesome. Pickles might visit you.

perhaps I will take a few weeks off at my ranch* and think about it.

*-part of my purchases so far

Woohoo!

:woohoo:

(hope you don't get sick... :scared:)

That should allow you to live in a major US City like Chicago, NY, or LA for a whole ONE MONTH!!!!!

LIVE IT UP!!!!!!!!!!

:hi:

hell -- crown her queen :D

Barbara Bush's idea of doing very well.

George
Neil
Marvin

when you have settled into your new home (possibly with walls)? After all, I'm sure she associates only with people who are doing very well.
