About 46,700 families who lost their homes in 2005 to Hurricane Katrina live in government-issued trailers throughout the Gulf Coast. Roughly 33,000 are in Louisianna and about 13,000 are in Mississippi. Numerous trailer residents complained about the formaldehyde used to preserve the construction materials in the trailers. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is just now finishing tests they started in December to see what the level of formaldehyde is. FEMA is moving about 800 families each week into hotels or apartments. Its been more than two years since the hurricane, and I think it’s about time people moved out of the FEMA trailers. They were never intended to be permanent homes and used for long periods of time. If after two years, there still aren’t jobs and buildings, it’s time for the hurricane victims to move to another state. They can’t expect to live off of the government and charity of others forever.

I think that I would apply for a job at kellog brown ant root to work over seas. The hours are long but the pay is tax free. On top of that you can still live in a trailer about 20feet by 8feet with one roommate.
I think that a person who does laundry gets about 75 thousand a year tax free. (give or take 10 grand)
