    Exactly, and that's a problem...hence our displeasure.



    Wow. You certainly grasped my sarcasm.



    And it shows you've lived in an unemployed family before...



    Sarcasm? Youve been backed into a corner, too late for that excuse.

    While you sit here and call everybody a communist like a wannabe Macarthy, ill sit here and laugh at you for enjoying having your tax dollars pissed away on a bunch of leeches. If my house catches on fire, will you pay for my new house, food, car, clothes, and appliances for the next few years? Didnt think so.

    If the fire swept away a whole city and its economy, and when my government hasn't done a sufficient effort to secure everyones' property both before and after the fire and when my government didn't do enough effort to restore order after the disaster (while certainly having the capacity) and when my government didn't even did sufficient effort to get everyone out of the disaster zone in time... Then yes, why not.

    It's a fraction of the cost of what a war costs...



    EDIT: No sarcasm.

    "didn't even did sufficient effort"

    I laughed

    Anywhoo, what does the federal government's initial response to a natural disaster (for which there was ample warning) have to do with your advocacy of people being leaches on other tax payers?  You're letting your hatred for all things Bush get in the way of your reasoning.

    Your argument is like a two legged dog with an eating disorder...weak and unbalanced.

    This New Orleans shit basically bankrupted the Red Cross and FEMA. And of course the government hasnt helped as much as they should, they never do, the government LOVES natural disasters, they usually do the governments dirty work for them; flush out low taxer payers, bring in contractors to build high class zones, replacing those low tax payers with high tax payers.

    But none of that matters, hell it might even be bullshit. The point is you want these people to keep sitting and doing nothing, while hard working people have to live paycheck to paycheck and eek through life.

It's not because you spend money on something that you do a good job. And I agree, Katrina will eventually benefit some companies, but not New Orleans. Hence why I'd rather see that the economy is put back on its feet before people are forced to join the new homeless legion in New Orleans.

    Because...it's going to somehow hurt the country if these people who are recieving benefits begin to actually work and contribute to society again?  You have some amazing thought processes going on.

    I never said it would hurt. I said it could very well be impossible.

    That congressman is way out of line trying to make a comparison between the slave trade and this picece of legislation.

    But hey, that is what these scumbags do.  Whether it be about Terri Schavio or this, we have idiots running this country with redherrings and misdirection.

    May 1999 a tornado hit southern Oklahoma City. It cut a 19 mile long, 2 mile wide path of destruction. And when I say destruction I mean not a building was left standing in that damage path.



    The US government sent funds to the state of Oklahoma. Its use was simple. The victims would get compensation with that money by helping rebuild the damage. I think it was close to $600 a week or close to that. They had to work 40 hours a week to get that money.



    Now to the rub. The moment the state got the money it took a large percentage for itself under the guise of "filing fees" and "Implementation costs".



    But I can tell you one thing. Except for actual damage to the ground itself you cant find hardly any signs of the tornado. Buildings were rebuilt, businesses restarted, etc.



    So this kind of thing does work and should have been done a hell of alot sooner. Instead of bringing in all kinds of high priced workers for menial labor work let the victims get in there and do the job. I can understand the skilled labor but there is alot of unskilled labor the victims can do.
