While I agree I also think everyone else will be doing it so why not? Plus, you don't know what this dude may have lost and where he and his family are financially.

One time assistance like FEMA is the way welfare in this country should work instead of it being made into a lifestyle but even disaster relief gets abused.

I had a buddy that worked in a speaker and car shop during Rita and he worked on commission. Dude was rolling in it after the FEMA checks for Rita and Katrina started coming in. So many stereo systems and rims sold it was ridiculous.

Do they still just give out $2K with no idea how people spend it or is it a bit more controlled?

I know at one point FEMA was asking for receipts or else you would have to pay it all back but that would have been like trying to squeeze blood from a turnip. Asking tons of people already on lifetime welfare to pay you back some welfare?
