The one who beleives the Federal Government is even close to a "white knight in shining armor" and is going to save the day, is the one who needs their head examined! If you all are waiting for the Federal Government to rebuild and clean up your State, good luck. The Federal Government is plumb out of builders, state workers, garbage collectors, construction contractors, city planners, mayors, governors...
How many times have you seen a Florida governor - Democrat or Republican - EVER say..."welp, as soon and the Knight from Washington arrives, we will be move back into the houses it builds for us." This is nuts. The Governor is supposed to plan and direct these needs and Washington gives money - which you all have already gotten a boat load of! If NOTHING is improving there don't look at washington...look at the corrupt, blame shifting Democrats in charge of your state. They are dumb as a bag of rocks! You all are in trouble; but that means you better vote in a leadership with a brain for a change.
If this is the way Republicans think and act in Louisianna, then please, spare us this stupidity and join the party of the socialist variety. I never want to have to depend on the government to save me because we would all be hopeless, poor and/or dead if we made Washington our daddy. Always remember those lovely high rise housing projects the Federal government built for the poor... Is that what you are waiting for? Calling Jimma Carter!
You've got a few too many "yous" in there for my rhetorical comfort! I'm not from Louisiana, but from one of the states that subsidizes the federal government with its income taxes.
I see my "who can we blame" threw you off. That was never intended to include "I."
