Originally posted by harleyquinn: I'd be careful before making such a broadbased judgement. Many people I know lost loved ones on 9/11. Some of them can no longer make ends meet, and they are not living richly to begin with. One lost her husband, she was a stay at home mom, and had been for the last 10 years. She had to quickly find a job, and having not been out there in the workplace for 10 years, it's not so easy to a) find a job and b) she's not making anywhere what her husband was. What she got from the gov't was not nearly enough to keep thing to where they were. She probably won't be able to keep the house. So now, not only did the kids lose their dad, they may soon lose the house. This doesn't even account for people who were living with their fiances or gay lovers. Those people got nothing, so suddenly their household income is cut in at least half. My point being, unless you're in that situation (which I hope no one is), you really shouldn't pass judgement. Looking at it one way it may seem that people are just money hungry, but when you delve deeper into the actual details of what's going on, you may find something completely different. JMHO, so no offense meant to anyone.

Fair point, but I think there are people of both categories (those who really need it as you described it and those who are simply trying to make a quick buck out of it as Vaskez described) in on this; not just people of only one of these categories.
