It is because they are bleeding. LOL...
Especially after tonights speach.
Watching the press talking-chuckle-heads I noticed it got good reviews from everyone except Jessie Jackson.
Its a bold plan, costly, but bold. And it will expose Louisiana politics to more scrutiny than it has ever had before, and maybe, just maybe we can pry that corrupt state government's hands away from the money.

Indeed it is very bold. If one can turn renters into homeowners, the tax base increases accordingly, as well as breaking an important part of the cycle of poverty. Certainly not all who have a chance at a new start will succeed, but those who may have been rudely awakened by their previous status in life can change what was into something better. Charity is for immediate and temporary situations. Investment spending is for the long run, hopefully changing generations into middle class and up. An ownership society is a worthy and democratic goal (in the original sense, of course!).
