Reply #13: What about someone like my dad, who lost everything in a house fire? [View All]

Is he going to get the exception? No, we're in WV, we weren't hit.

Or the single mom who lost her job (and insurance) to take care of her sick child? She's out of her home, and has huge medical bills and no income. She doesn't deserve any consideration because she wasn't affected by Katrina.

How about the family that lost their income when the breadwinning dad lost his job to an overseas worker because the toy company he worked for figured they could up their profit margin by %40 by relocating and establishing offshore accounts structures? This guy's been paying for everything by credit card hoping for months that something would come along, but after all this time, nothing has and his unemployment's run out and there's nothing to pay the bills with. His problem wasn't a hurricane, does he get a break?
