The "Victims" of Hurricane Katrina

Remember Hurricane Katrina? Three and a half years ago?

Did you know that Hurricane Katrina's "victims" are still living in temporary housing provided by us, the taxpayers? The free housing was set to expire on March 1, giving the "victims" a mere 3 1/2 years of living on the taxpayer's dime. 6,866 families were set to be evicted. But now, a U.S. Senator from Lousiana has just announced that "under the Obama administration, we will have a willing partner on housing and the other recovery issues still facing the Gulf Coast" and free housing has been extended another 60 days.

I do feel sorry for anyone who lost a home in a hurricane, but 3.5 years? Come on! That is a long time. When Hurricane Katrina happened, my oldest daughter was a newborn who could barely hold her head up and didn't do much besides spit up all the time. Today she takes ballet lessons, knows her letters and numbers, has a full vocabulary, can ride a bike with training wheels, is potty trained, etc., etc.

So 3 1/2 years is long enough for a helpless newborn to develop into a fully functioning preschooler, but not long enough for these "victims" to actually find their own jobs or places to live?

Question: why does everything Obama does reward failure and punish success?
