A victim of Hurricane Katrina, Rolanda Cain, her one-year-old baby and her "boyfriend" are in a rough spot. It appears that since Katrina, Rolanda has been living in a Atlanta motel where the federal government has been paying the hotel bills. BUT, from the sounds of things its the nasty mean old federal government that is to blame bacuse Rolanda doesn't know how long that money will last and is worried about being evicted from the motel. Rolanda says "We have a place to stay. We have food. The only worry is how long it will last."
Well, first off its not the federal government paying for her hotel. It's hard working Americans who have been putting up their tax dollars for Rolanda. The federal government is merely taking that money and giving it to her.
Now, I hear Rolanda's "only worry" is how long the handout is going to last!?! This is just fucking crazy! Maybe it's just me, but if I were in her place I might be worried about, say, getting a job!
Rolanda says that this is all very frustrating. "With no answers, you don't know which way to go." Well, Rolanda is quite the little self-starter, isn't she? Apparently she's sitting around waiting for "answers," instead of spending time on the phone or hitting the streets looking for some work. I wonder if she's even gone so far as to ask the manager of the hotel where she's living at taxpayer expense if he might hire her as a housekeeper?
And her boyfriend? Is he out there looking for a job while Rolanda stays at home with the kid? The article says nothing. For all we know he may also be just sitting around waiting for "answers."
