Living in Florida during the hurricanes, I can tell you I heard many stories of things being paid for by FEMA. Funnily enough, though, everyone that I spoke to who went to FEMA was denied any help whatsoever.
Sure, there must've been someone who was helped by FEMA, but the ones needing chainsaws (for downed trees, etc. on property) or generators (for help with power outages that stretched days or weeks) didn't get any reimbursements or such.
Most of the people I know were on their own for home rebuilding, etc.
Huh. I was raised Catholic until I gave it up at age 19; nowhere in catechism or the Sunday sermons (nor the many collections for charities) did they mention trying to flood the U.S. with Catholics.
The rabid hate that still exists for Catholics puzzles me. They're mostly harmless; hell, even the Catholics don't usually follow their own dogma 100%.
