(CNN) -- Nearly three months after Hurricane Katrina forced tens of thousands from their homes, bureaucracy is creating a new tide of trouble for victims of the storm.
"We feel like we are citizens of the United States who are nearly forgotten," said Democratic Louisiana Gov. Kathleen Blanco.
"It is a very frustrating thing. People are weary. They want to move on ... It's going to take us a while. And we still need help from Washington."
I think many of these people are so used to the government taking care of them that they're incapable of taking care of themselves. We've created a generation of people (at least in New Orleans) that are totally and hopelessly dependent on the gratuity of government. They have zero support systems (two-parent families, schools, businesses, functioning churches) to help them recover from a crisis.
