[Miss Marple]

Here I am! I am interested to hear what is being planned. Despite many people carping here, I cannot think conservatives really think that we should leave an area the size of Great Britain devastated. Nor should we leave one million people to wander the streets without some sort of help.

I always believed that we ARE our brothr's keeper, in the sense that we should help out when things like this happen.

We rebuilt Europe after WWII, and those people had been our enemies. It seems to me that we should help people in this country even more.

I think Denny Hastert had a great idea in suggesting that we rebuild, but on higher ground.

I agree with you sentiment regarding taking care of our own. IMHO there must be some oversight given the large sum of our treasure going to all of the affected areas. Louisana in general, and New Orleans in specific, happen to have the distinction of a history of corruption and graft. I am not in favor of another federalist reconstruction. Nor am I in favor of handing governors and mayors a blank check.
What is the best solution?

THANK YOU!
