heckofajob, douchebags!

It's their new HUD project. The 28 million is simply a business expense to guarantee Democrat votes from the tenants come election time.

and this is probably a waste of money

BUT does anyone have anything to say to the people who are STILL LIVING IN SOME OF THOSE TRAILORS FROM KATRINA??????

Collossal waste of money.

Why doesn't someone do something? They got rid of Brownie three years ago!

I hope you are right Zap--but I have a feeling three years from now the gov't will still be paying for these trailers.

And hillbilly--your sarcasm is cute--since you haven't been around very long--we'll overlook it.

...when are we-the-people gonna learn that Govenment is not the solution-Govenment is THE PROBLEM!...just check out the graveyard of government regulated banking...for starts...

Are you volunteering?

Where do you live?

How much land do you have available for storage?

Would you mind if they stacked the trailers?

Spud caught a news story on these Trailer storage sites.

Apparently the trailers in question are so laden with formaldehyde that when you put a shiatload of them together in one place and put them all out in the baking sun the waves of formaldehyde that are emitted are so strong that people living in nearby tend to start feeling sick because of it.

Not content to merely pollute the wombs of women in Iraq with the dust from Depleted Uranium munitions Dumbya has brought his chemical warfare philoskophy to bear on poor, black folks living in America.

Way to go, Dumbya!

Is there anything you can do that isn't a complete and total fuckup?

Anything?

Be Well.

BDS for sure going on here. You guys would rip him up if he destroyed the trailers instead of storing them. Tools.

well i appreciate that mc kankles!!

"...the waves of formaldehyde that are emitted are so strong that people living in nearby tend to start feeling sick because of it.

Though the auto-reaction would be to blame Shrub for the toxic trailers, the actual assigning of "blame" is not so pat.

Gleaned from an article I read way back, the first waves of trailers delivered post-Katrina were well within tolerance for toxins - otherwise, there would have been an outcry from the American RV community long before Katrina. Problem was, the US RV manufacturers quickly ran out of standing stock, then ran began to run out of materials to build new stock. So they turned to off-shore resources to replenish, especially for the much-needed ply for walls and floors. The foreign manufacturers do not build to US standards, thus the received materials had levels of industrial toxins, specifically formaldehyde, that way exceeded what was acceptable in the US. And in the rush to manufacture thousands of new units, these materials were not appropriately tested prior to build and delivery.

So where is the blame to fall?

I have some land in Northern CA they can lease from me and I'll only charge them $10 Mil per year with a 3 year minimum.

We all save money this way :>)

As far as kicking the yokels in the trailers out, what good would that accomplish? Now you'll just be storing those same trailers that used to have people living in them, and produce a new bunch of homeless people. It doesn't cost anything to leave the trailers where they are, and it does cost money to move them.

The government can't auction the things off, because it would 'depress' our precious RV industry. At least the segment that produces the uninhabitable crap with no quality assurance. Good campaign contributers.

The build quality on these kinds of trailers is garbage. A cracker box on an under-rated steel frame tacked together with spot welds. It doesn't matter whether someone is in it or not, it will fall apart at about the same rate.

If the trailer had human 'trash' in it, taking the trailer back now won't make it any more habitable for the next victims of some disaster. It was a complete write-off a week after they got it. If they are clean people, the trailer will stay in better shape than the ones they store.

I've heard the military spends tax dollars to store civil war saddles. (Saw it on 60 minutes).

How long before the Government figures out it costs more to store the trailers than to give them away? There's probably a regulation that makes such a move illegal.

We need bigger government and better regulation. Lets create some bureaucracy to look into and manage the problem.

Bring em to Wisconsin. It's Ice Fishing Season.

I suggest they take them to a certain ranch in Crawford, Texas, and store the Bush Presidential "papers" in them.

Spud went ice fishing once.

Brought home half a ton of ice.

Nearly drowned trying to cook it all at once.

/Ah, the old jokes is fun fer Spud!

Be Well.

I drove by this place this past weekend (one of 'em anyway). It's on I-59. there are these big fields with trailers lined up as far as you can see for a couple of miles. just sitting out in the field lined up nice and pretty. there must be hundreds of thousands of them.

i doubt seriously any humanity lives in that area. If they do, they probably live off possum squeezin's and poke salad. little formaldehyde probably do 'em some good.

Maybe they could use the trailers to house displaced Wall Street investment bankers.

Put 'em in northern Mississippi; they can learn to live off the land and not bother the rest of us.

Tax dollars hard at work.

They could store these trailers in highway right of ways which are patrolled routinely. For free. This is what is wrong with our government.... Wasteful spending.

In other news, Tornadoes set aside differences and simultaneously attack FEMA target.

Perfect.

and as always liberals here are only looking at a government run answer to this problem
seems to me that the problem started in NO for most of these people a long time ago
remember they used to live in liberal shangri la and look what THAT got them. with old people and the infirmed the exception as always
there are several people who are still here from katrina that I know from the horse track and they almost to a man believe what I Do
that its way past time for these people to stop sucking off the rest of us.
