How big is our credit card

Posted by John in La on September 24, 2017 at 09:14:11 from (96.33.130.162):

I ran for FEMA last week. Not for the money but so I could help those in need. Saw lots of devastation.
Got my pay check for the 7 days I was gone and it is 3 times its normal gross amount.
Can not even imagine how much my company is making as I only provided the labor; that company provided the truck; trailers; fuel; insurance and so on.
And to think this is only water vapor in the air compared to the ocean of bills we are racking up on FEMA's credit card.

We all here about the $600 toilet seat and think that must be a fluke. But from what I have seen from FEMA it is not a fluke.

A while back a area near Baton Rouge La flooded. FEMA was bringing in mobile homes night and day to provide housing for flood victims. The local news reported....

The Federal Emergency Management Agency is spending an estimated $129,200 for the purchase, transport and installation of each "manufactured housing unit" placed on the private property of a flood victim, according to a document provided to a Louisiana congressman. If the unit is placed in an already existing commercial park for mobile homes and travel trailers, then the cost increases to $149,000, because of the extra expense to lease the site pad. And if the mobile homes are placed in FEMA designated group sites, then the price can rise as high as $170,000.

A local place that sells mobile homes said he could sell and install this particular model home for $37,900 and still make a profit.

If you listen to the local talk radio when they are talking about floods several will call in and state... Why do we need flood insurance; we will just wait for the FEMA bailout.

And before you go ripping the gulf coast remember Sandy in the N.E. and the river over flowing and flooding Iowa and other parts of the mid west.

So my question is how big is our government credit card. How long can we go on subsidizing everything and bailing out those that get in trouble.
This is not limited to floods and hurricanes; it is just what I know best.
