    What is going to be done about the approx. 10,000 families still living in the FEMA Formaldehyde trailers that they refuse to buy back or provide any other living arrangements for? All they will say when contacted is "Move Out--they are unsafe but we are not going to do a thing for you". Fema covered up the problem & sold them without us understanding anything was wrong with them. FEMA + the trailer manuf. should have to "Honor a FULL 100% Recall" just like toy & auto manuf. do. Please Help!

    I for one am getting sick and tired of USA paying to fix dikes and put out fires to save homes that are build on the rail road tracks. Each and every year after the California fires the follow up of mud slides strips money from our nations pocket. Same goes for tornado alley. Washington State and the Mississippi river inhabitants. The floods are comming and man can't stop them. The fires are coming and the mud slides can't be stopped. When will all the wasted money and effort be stopped! Hey, lets rebuild a city below sea level I hear they will throw big parties every year there and play the blues. More like pay the blues!

      It's not like those people want to stay there for a flood. the fact is that most can't afford to move or evacuate. although there are a few that choose to stay many couldn't afford it. as for you getting sick and tired of the US paying for disasters, what did you think of 9/11? does New York have immunity? we live in a country that is not liked by many others, so we all could some day be the target of a disaster. where you live may or may not change that. and i am sure that where you live is perfect harmony. no disasters or crime, a true "Walgreens" world, right?
