not to be rude but here goes more money out of the US economy to save or rebuild that country when disaster strikes. Not like other countries help us when we have major storms etc.

Actually, the world does help the US when disaster strikes...

Hurricane Katrina Blog - Deadly Katrina World did come to aid America after Katrina

International response to Hurricane Katrina - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

but this article is interesting...

I'm not saying google is definitive but it certainly seems there were many countries who pledged support

oh, that's easy!
a 3 y.o. who just turned 4 today and a soon to be 7 y.o. both make me forget what day it is sometimes, much less what i've said in a day (or in this case, what i posted 5 days ago! that's like a month by my time!)

I guess watching food banks close the doors to feed people here in Orlando is hard to watch and then to hear they are sending 4,000 Haiti people to Orlando out of 45,000 that are coming to FL I just can't see how a state or let alone Orlando is going to house, feed and medically treat these people when we can't take care of our own homeless, hungry and medically needy citizens.

Houston took in lots of people from Kat. and the homeless population reached 30,000 in the years to follow, I met more people from Kat. relocation homeless then I did anything else.

Don't get me wrong I feel for these people, but we all know we can't afford to take care of them when we can't take care of our own. Florida can't handle the amount of money needed to give them the basics, we have the highest unemployment rate in the country at least i know its above 11% I also know food prices in Central FL are crazy and with food banks closing for lack of funds who is going to feed these people? who is going to shelter these people? We are being told they will be here soon and honestly this state can't afford to help honest truth even tho it sucks to say it.
