>>>>Are you equating the devastation in the Gulf with welfare programs that have been around since, when, Carter was POTUS??
PresBush in his speech clearly made the case for expansive big government, cradle to grave nannyism.
>>>>I don't think even YOU would say that right after 9/11, President Bush handled his presidency like he would have prior to 9/11....and I think this hurricane was just the same...I don't think we can look at any fed spending in this case, like we would your welfare and entitlements of decades and administrations past.
The events of 9-11 came about when terrorists invaded America and killed over 3000 people and destroyed billions of dolloars of infrastructure. The Katrina afetrmath and the 9-11 attacks are completely different events. One, an act of war. The other, an act of nature. That doesn't mean we get all touchy feely liberal and hand out money, like candy to kids.
I'm hearing some good things about Mike Pence. His idea to put off the PDP for a year or so, is something I would support wholeheartedly.
Obviously did not even listen to the speech but had their mind made up before hand. Cannot decide if this is a troll or just someone too stubborn to try thinking
You said that Bush's speech made a case for cradle to grave nannyism....you must listen with a mind so closed that you don't have the capacity to really hear what he is saying...
I don't think he said any such thing...but, I will say that you are WAY off when you dismiss this hurricane damage as so much LESS as 9/11...and you come off as completely uncaring..which I hadn't QUITE decided you are.
But, this last post pretty much has convinced me that you aren't a fiscally conservative...you are an uncaring penny-pincher.
