Well, they made their choice and now, should not ask the intrusive government to step in and help them.

???......I think your getting your disasters confused. It was the liberal center of your party that screamed for help and the head of GW Bush on a platter when they were deluged in the heart of Mississippi.
In the heart of the country the people got together and helped themselves instead of waiting for government to take care of them. The very conservative state of Utah are self reliant Americans who've taken care of themselves for generations and haven't been turned into the entitlement class dependents of the government as are/were the people of New Orleans.
This is true of all the heartland states. They took care of themselves and then accepted what help was offered in the rebuilding. They blamed no one.
