hurricane katrinas over..isnt it ?

It has been nearly seventh months since Hurricane Katrina destroyed the city of New Orleans and forced hundreds of thousands of residents to vacate their homes. Most of these people still have not found a permanent place to live since this national disaster devastated their lives and the little savings they had left is long gone. So what are politicians and the government currently doing for the people that suffered in Hurricane Katrina. Robert Rodrigue's opinion on the subject is, "I don't think anybody cares, really, New Orleans is kind of like at the bottom of the country, and they just forget about us." So what happens now. Is the government still responsible to take care of these natural disaster victims or have they completed their obligation to the American people. Many have forgotten about Hurricane Katrina, but those who were affected by it will never forget.

The post-Huricane Katrina era we are experiencing now is very similar to the time during post World War I. The economy was in the serious devastation of a Great Depression. Wages fell dramatically and the labor unions in this time were very weak. There was little government protection during this post-war time. American citizens were in a terrible situation. But is it the governments responsibility to take care of all the citizens? How far do the obligations of the American government go, how liable are they?
