Hurricane Katrina revealed liberalism at its filthiest. New Orleans is a city owned and operated lock, stock, and barrel by Democrats, and where Democrats are in charge, you can bet there’s a complex web of public assistance. Such is New Orleans, where the hurricane uncovered a large population of citizens who are so dependent on government for everything that they could not follow through on the simple act of leaving town on their own. We all remember how Congress couldn’t resist throwing public assistance money at hurricane victims, and it has since been revealed that a big chunk of our tax dollars were misused by various recipients for various reasons.
Michelle Malkin had a recent post which exposes one resident living in taxpayer-subsidized housing complaining about her plight:
Sharon Jasper, a former St. Bernard complex resident presented by activists Tuesday as a victim of changing public housing policies, took a moment before the start of the City Hall protest to complain about her subsidized private apartment, which she called a “slum.” A HANO voucher covers her rent on a unit in an old Faubourg St. John home, but she said she faced several hundred dollars in deposit charges and now faces a steep utility bill.
An accompanying photograph in the Times-Picayune article reveals that Ms. Jasper is also the proud owner of a 60-inch color TV.
