  This is to rich> I think you are missing a zero. I saw that paper and it looked more like around $20,000 and not $2100. Which to me sounds more like robbery. I say stop funding people that don't want to play nice in this game. We don't have to vote them into office and we don't have to support them financially anymore. I was displaced by Katrina and still haven't been able to get back home because of financial issues. I had already lost my home before Katrina hit though because of an accident and was living in an apartment. I really do feel for the person in this video and I hope things get better for them. I do disagree that it's about race though and I am sorry if people don't agree with me. I think it has a lot to do with people that have against people that have not. It's a money game. If the people that are suppose to be protecting us are morally, ethically,racially, financially biased and don't want to represent all of their people we need to put forth more of an effort to get them out and put people in that do what they are suppose to do. Sorry for being so long winded I am just so angry with the whole situation.

  This is terrible. I can't see why they would be able to get away with demolishing someone's property like that without permission and then charge them for it. The more I hear about post-Katrina the more is just disgusts me. It's unfortunate but it comes down to the wealthy against the poor or more or less the wealthy before the poor.

  The whole Katrina mess didn't have to happen. June 7, 2005 I submitted to Asst. Dir. FEMA Michael Brown means to fortify the levees in case a Category #5 hurricane would come. Aug. 18 his reply came stating "It would be unfair to my competitors to test the method." Meaning it would possibly put money elsewhere than Halliburton. When Halliburton got the contract to replace the levees to Category #3 strength in 2006, I offered them the upgrade and was told to contact any other company, not them. But they had the contract. This was offered BP/Halliburton as part of gulf recovery and has not been acted on. Let us pipe the levees to prevent another inundation of New Orleans, this time with the now oily waters of the Gulf of Mexico. To contact us use AirWarsDefense@aol.com to insure this time that the pipes are in place so the cores of the levees can be frozen in anticipation of the onslaught of another Category #4 or #5 hurricane to the region. US Coast Guard BAA HSCG32-10-R-R00019, application #2001261 is still pending. Get it awarded and prevent, not the hurricane like Katrina, but the levee failure during the hurricane that caused the deaths, damage and disastrous response. Prevention is much preferred and much cheaper than recovery.

  With our economy in the toilet, and more and more people looking for some way to secure their future, Microsoft's Elevate America really does come at a great time. Best-case scenario, it could live up to its name and pull at least a couple million citizens out of the dumps and into a rewarding, sustainable career. Personal loans for an education can be one of the best investments that you can make. Microsoft understands this, which is why they started their Elevate America program. They also offer cash grants to some people in need that want to enroll. Microsoft aims to aid in raising the general technological literacy of the public, a vital skill for the next generation of workers. It would be definitely worth it to take their courses with the aid of personal loans if you need them.
