So, there were no lower income homeowners denied funds just to accommodate wealthier people.Poor people got money, rich people got the same money too.What's the pearl clutching for? Sounds like the program worked as designed.Wealthy people should be denied just because they are wealthy?

They can afford to rebuild.

The poor and the middle class can't.

Just because the home is "worth" millions of dollars does not mean the homeowner/s are wealthy. They could have been in those homes for decades when they were worth a "normal" amount, and because of the market now, they shot up in value. And even if they are wealthy, why does that disqualify them from something their taxes paid into?

People of different income brackets were treated equally and yet you still complain. Unreal.

They're the ones paying the taxes that fund these programs and you're going to make them ineligible?

Assuming they paid taxes, why shouldn’t they be allowed to participate in government funded programs?
