What is this obscene focus on N.O.? I've never seen so much protest on disaster aid before.
I don't understand it either. I mean we paid how much money for NYC after 9/11? That was only for a small area of devastation.
I mean if we don't rebuild what sort of message does this give to China, the jihadis and the rest of the world? Our enemies are paying attention here.
You're right that it's all objectionable. What makes this special is that it's such an astronomical amount of money being directed to unconstitutional uses. $200 billion is $676 for every man, woman and child in the United States. The actual bill will be at least twice that, of course--the estimate is never remotely met. It's one of the biggest socialist projects in our history.
