The "fact" is, Sherlock, the US gub'mint sponsored the $2,000 debit card giveaway.
It doesn't matter if the Red Cross OR Monte Hall handed them out.
Understood, and believe it or not I don't disagree with you on that. But to imply there is NO pandering to minorities(blacks in this particular instance) is to turn a blind eye to a potential reality. We can ignore this possible reality til it comes back to bite us again, and again. All the money in the world cannot fix a systemic problem. In fact, may exacerbate it.

I don't have a problem with port of New Orleans being rebuilt with federal loans.
I do have a problem with rebuilding homes in a high flood risk zone for people that are too poor to afford flood insurance. We as a nation should be discouraging people from living close to the gulf coast unless they can afford flood insurance.
It's just that when someone says they have no clue as to what a Clintonista kneepad wearer is, it reeks of newbie.
I hope so.I also hope these loans and land go to the working people ,elderly and disabled,certainly not the welfare crowd.But that who I'm afraid who will get it and abuse it .You can buy alot of fendi bags with these loans!I on the other hand do not own a fendi bag!
Easily fixed. Put that as a requirement to building there (getting flood insurance.)
He's GOT to be a salesman! ;)
Not to mention tax revenue flowing into the Government coffers from these new business owners, some of whom were previous welfare recipients.
It is the antithesis of the New Deal, it is the Republican version and we should call it "THE REAL DEAL"
Yes, that is why I think his home ownership is a good plan in theory. Of course in NO the only city where corrupt politicians have an investment in subsidized housing. I doubt it and I am opening up a can of worms here.
Kind of makes you wonder why their wealth explodes compared to the govt salary they work so hard to attain.
I know this comes as a shocking concept to Bush-bots, but I am an advocate of personal responsiblity. If you can't afford something then you shouldn't buy it. If you can't afford to insure a home then you shouldn't buy it. Why is this such a foreign concept?
lol!
That's why I was laughing. :)
I didn't like the way those poll results were coming out.
Darlin' I'm not worried about me. Your post came across as a threat to the POTUS. So did you threaten the president?
Are you talking about me?
ANy idea where we can get the names of the absentee landlords in NOLA? Am betting the Landrieu name appears repeatedly.
The only thing I disagree with is the president's idea of having Blanko and Nagin decide how to spend the money. Its crystal clear that these two are clueless. If they are allowed to spend the money according to their wishes, these billions will disappear with nothing to show for it.
There is not a federal program in existence that has not been rife with fiscal corruption and mismanagement. I have no doubts that this proposed boondoggle will be no different.
As usual, I'm duly impressed with your rapier-like wit.
Now don't you have better things to do at the moment...like ironing your 'Bush-Cheney in 2000' undergarments?
