Wd might need some back up...lol... best for you to stick around. I can't. :)
Wrong, it goes back further than that. LBJ is just part of a much larger problem. By default, he was a racist. (if you ever listened to his taped White House phone conversations).
Now you've ventured off into Looneyville with this:
I know what "Bold Action" is when President Bush said that in the context of that transcript. "Bold Action" is welfare piled on top welfare.
Your solution to the problem is to completely ignore them and throw them to the wind, like the Democrats have been doing for 60 years. Tell me, where in the speech does it say "building minority owned businesses" and "leaving most of the work to the private sector" is considered "welfare"? By all estimations, this rebuilding effort will be entirely done in the private sector. (read: your tax dollars and mine won't be raised).
OH, yes ma'am...I surely do know that.
Your "BRAVO/BRAVAs" are few and far between,
and they are given only to the deserving few.
Good to see you. ;o)
Forget it. Bush and The Republicans have made it very, very clear that they don't give a damn about safeguarding your money. Or mine.
$500 Billion deficits, $3 Trillion budgets - here we come! Crank the Louisiana Corruption Machine up to high gear!
Whee.
I love that! Thanks. :)
I believe proportional percentages would be more useful dear.
The big and long term picture here is to get people off welfare and onto the tax rolls.
It is, for the ones who are getting out of this state. And that's the sad thing as far as N.O. is concerned; why would you want to rebuild it? I encounter these refugees every day and the most common thing I hear is how much they're looking forward to starting life elsewhere. They KNOW what they've escaped from and don't want to go back.
Louisiana is a bad, bad, bad investment risk. I can't stress that enough.

If you know me, and you do, you know I'm a night owl. LOL!!
Did you ever have everything you owned pulvarized into mulch by a hurricane?
Only people with ambition and drive will want to start businesses. If well managed, this will lead to people who have never taken responsibility for themselves, beginning to do so.
I don't see why you should have a problem with that.
As for having Congress cut other spending to make up for this, I am in total agreement with you. I hope he demands other cuts (though I'm not too hopeful of that). It's one of the areas where I have serious disagreements with the President.
I didn't see the speech either, and from reading some of the threads after it was over, I thought the President must have been calling Laura Lady Bird!
Thankfully, somebody posted the transcript and as usual, I found out the usual misrepresentations had been posted here that have become the norm. I thought what he said was great. Some here are obviously very selfish, and very incognito if you know what I mean! ;-)
Hoot, hoot. Take care and have fun. This thread has some rich targets. Geeeez, I miss my late nights.
To tell you the truth,
I'm off for bed myself.
Sorry, wardaddy.......
you are on your own. ;o)
But this is a lie! There were tractor trailers full of food and water delivered there BEFORE the storm and often there after. I have seen pictures of the trash left behind when they left. There were CASES of full water bottles and MREs laying on the ground.
Precisely...."W" is making this into an opportunity to go from welfare to work....It worked in Indiana and it will work in LA too.
But don't you see President Bush as being socially conservative?
Where have you been when we needed you.
Your word craft could flushed most of the dip sticks.
Just as all of the national media had pronounced it over. Funny how they keep falling into the same trap.
Now, I've spent quite enough time on this thread, so I'm heading out. It's in good hands with you, anyway. :)
GREAT speech by a GREAT President!
