Why not solve the homeless problem by giving THEM the money
that's being donated? The damage to the city is an obligation for our GOVERNMENT to tackle. I am 100% sure that the money that's being generously given is meant to help the PEOPLE who have lost it all..

Why not just set up accounts for all the displaced people in shelters, and let them use their share to re-start their lives..A million here, 500million there.. It starts to add up:)..

Instead of funneling it into the bureaucracy machine, and having it wasted on adminstration, why not just give it to the ones who need it.?

Let THEM be the ones to choose how to get their lives back on track..

I did not donate money so that halliburton can have an extra zero tacked onto their no-bid contract.

I fear that these people have been moved en masse so they can be "kept track of", and become a new cottage industry for the states that have "accepted" them..

1. Some of the $$$ will go to Robertson's Operation Blessing, too.
