Im so sick and tired of watching the government spend my tax money or freeloaders like this. Lets just add this to the long list of stuff Obama likes to give away to try and buy votes from the people. Yes, I know its a disaster but if they are able to get gas there, then they need to put it in tanks and charge for it.
Personally I think they are over-exaggerating the devastation of this storm (other than the people who lost everything), but the other people who are only missing gas and electricity arent in that bad of a situation. Most Amish NEVER have gas or electric and live their whole lives just fine without it. I dont think having to wait 2 weeks is gonna kill these people.
There was over a week notice that this storm was going to slam this area and yet people still didnt prepare. They didnt buy water or non perishable food. They didnt buy generators, they didnt buy flashlights and batteries, they didnt make sure they washed their clothes prior to the storm, and they didnt buy portable non-electric heater such as a kerosene heater. Then the storm hits and they bitch and moan about not having anything, stores being sold out of everything and price gouging and now want it all free. I bet most of them didnt buy any kind of insurance on their homes either.
Im so sick of irresponsibility being rewarded all the time and having MY tax money spent on it.
