Lets Move George Jr,Laura and Barbara Bush into a FEMA

.........TRAILER......if it is good for those who lost everything in Katrina then isn't it good for the one who let crap happen??????

"NEW ORLEANS (AP) — U.S. health officials are urging that Gulf Coast hurricane victims be moved out of their government-issued trailers as quickly as possible after tests found toxic levels of formaldehyde fumes.

Fumes from 519 trailer and mobile homes in Louisiana and Mississippi were — on average — about five times what people are exposed to in most modern homes, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. In some trailers, the levels were nearly 40 times customary exposure levels, raising fears that residents could contract respiratory problems."


Bush is the ultimate SLUMLORD.....

2. Guess the smaller government couldn't test those trailers

for chemicals? It has been a problem for some time. People knew about trailers having formaldehyde fumes prior to Katrina, etc.

Did the companies just dump the defective materials on the homeless in the Gulf? If so there should be criminal charges.

Where is the accountability of the government? I'm sick of them wasting our tax dollars.

I called Congress womans Bean office and express outrage that they were investigating Baseball on our tax dollars. Let them pay for their own investigations with their billions. Investigate those trailers, 911, etc. first.

3. I agree. That should work out well for them.
I have lots of family in the Biloxi area. At least one of my cousins has already had to move out of her FEMA trailer due to repiratory issues. Her and her mother's home was three blocks from the beach and was totally destroyed. They lost everything.
Two of my aunts have passed away since Katrina, I think mostly due to stress issues aggravating their lives. One of these aunts was not old, <50 years old. The other was my cousin's mother referred to above.

4. No. That is too good for them. Just drop them on the street somewhere without
money or a means to communicate with anyone.

Now that would make a good reality show.
