Do you realize Katrina homeowners can get up to $150,000 of your tax dollars for their house? Guess there's no need for insurance these days when the mother of all gift horses is in the corral
Does that also mean big daddy government will bail out bubble homeowners who get foreclosed on? After all, they were just following government's advice - get a home and get an ARM.
Is anyone else incensed with how the government is spending like drunk sailors these days?
Gov. Kathleen Blanco's administration outlined a $7.5 billion rebuilding, relocation and buyout plan for Louisiana residents with hurricane-damaged homes - the first comprehensive plan the state has offered for thousands whose homes remain ruined in neighborhoods paralyzed with uncertainty.
Homeowner assistance would be capped at a maximum $150,000 per homeowner under the draft recommendations unveiled Monday

Huge bedget deficits will not allow for a bailout. New Orleans is just one market -- the real estate bubble affects a major share of the entire USA. The $ is simply not there, and if the market moves backward, the fiscal crisis will grow worse.
Ill take that in large bills please!
And print a little extra for harry and esta up the street i here their IO-ARM is going to adjust this september.
INFLATION!!!! PRINT PRINT PRINT!

I'm just mad because I'm never at the front of the line when the guvmint hands out free money. When will it be my turn at the front of the line? Probably never.

You can cut me in the bread line cause thats where we are all headed
Where's the personal responsibility?
If people didn't have insurance they shouldn't get payments from the gov't. One again law abiding citizens are left holding the bag.
Can you just see the fraud inherent in a scheme like this? Shack owners, vacant lot owners and phony owners would be lining up to claim the full 150 k for their 5 k shacks. With no structure there, who's to say whether the place was a palace or an outhouse? As usual, the scammers will get the loot from a misplaced gov sugarpot.
Where is the governor getting the money? And why isn't she in jail for not evacuating New Orleans in the first place? She and that idiot mayor?
This is another example of politicians using public funds to buy votes and good PR. I don't believe a single cent should be given to anyone. The insurance companies that haven't come up with any money yet should be prosecuted.
I don't think the plan was ever to bail out the floppers.
Before, we had a large debt owed by government and corps & the trade deficit. Now, we have managed to hook the individual citizens for big chunks of the debt, and get foreigners to buy it.
So, when the defaults come, the citizens aren't good for the money, and the foreigners get screwed. Completely legal.
It's a great plan!
the day my tax money goes to bail out real estate flippers is the day I march on Washington.
Its bad enough the Congress has to raise the debt cieling, enslaving future generations, but it will be a cold day in hell before I start bailing out some scumbag flippers.
Great, so they can rebuild and get bailed again, the next time their ill positioned POS gets flooded.
