Just got this from a washington post article on Drudge.
"The president called on Congress to quickly pass a plan that would provide property on the federal domain free of charge though a lottery. In exchange, a recipient would be obligated to build a home with additional assistance from government. "Homeownership is one of the great strengths of any community, and it must be a central part of our vision for the renewal," he said. He also proposed creation of "worker recovery accounts" of up to $5,000 for evacuees to use for job training, education and child care."
I just don't get it. The entitlement goes on...The bank is empty.
the property tax are public. county courthouse once it dries out....
My call as well.
"I would like to have seen a greater dependence on private sources, particularly because this will be a model for diasters both big and small in the future."
Yep, but unfortunately the federal government feels a need to create a greater dependency and reliance on them -- thus gaining more power, producing a greater constituency, and growing into an insatiable monster bureaucracy.
See how tired I am?
99.99% of our towns aren't built below sea level. Earthquakes, tornadoes, fires, etc., are statistically insignificant compared to the perils of that construction.
smooch!
Im speachless. Im done.
Six years? How can that be? He was my governor for two of those years. :o)
It's brilliantly cost-effective.
The only ones worried about race, IMHO, are those constantly worried about race.
President Bush has put together a brilliant proposal.
If you don't think President Bush is a racist (as you have said) then why bring up your idea that he's pandering to the "racist" angle? He's not.
Wonder if it is on line.....IS there a list of who received HUD rental fees somewhere? Freedom of information or something like that? How would one go about getting that information?
thanks, TSS!
You've clearly gone 'round the bend.
I asked you once if you had imaginary friends to go along with your imaginary enemies and your imaginary conspiracies.
I think the answer was yes, wasn't it? How are they doing these days? Do they still talk to you and tell you these strange things? Do you hear their voices often?
Or have you achieved delusional independence and make up these bizarre fantasies all by your onesies now? :)
1) Those who willingly and steadfastly refused to leave in spite of the fact they were warned DAYS IN ADVANCE that a category 5 hurricane was heading straight for them.
2) The Mayor of N.O., incompetent mayor Nagin who, during the disaster, never lifted a finger to get the old, poor and disabled out by using the fleets of busses readily at his disposal which now lie under feet of water, useless, like this black mayor who has now set up cushy new digs for himself in Texas.
3) Blanko, the governor of LA; a woman so inept, she failed to take coordinated action and sat on her hands while her state fell apart around her and who, for over 24 hours, could not make up her mind as to accepting or refusing the offer to help from the President of the United States.
These are the people who are to blame; the democratic black mayor and the democratic woman governor; not President Bush and NOT me, my family and the rest of America! However, instead of dealing with the TRUTH and holding those responsible accountable; because the race card has been and is being played, WE are going to be held responsible for the sheer stupidity of others; WE and our children’s children are going to be made to pay, and pay, and pay in order to placate them and rebuild N.O. a city that is surrounded by water and up to 25 feet below sea level! Not only that, the President is going to give the supervision of the BILLIONS of dollars of construction and supervision into the hands of mayor Nagin and govenor Blanko. The result will be; BILLIONS down the toilet.
Excellent Point. Thanks.
The President's Speech is being replayed in the East Coast on Fox News right now.
ABC--- Evacuees praise Pres, slam local & state Gov
ABC really said that??
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
ABC didn't say it. The evacuees in Houston said it!
