Yeah right. This will become this countries, big dig project. But instead of KKenedy leading the charge it will be one of our own.
Rolling out compassionate conservatism, expanding government and handing out a blank check maybe good politics, but its bad policy. Take a well crafted speech and add to it maybe upwards of $200-billion and you get a momentary feel good period. Thankfully, on spending issues there are some fiscal conservatives left in WashDC. Mike Pence, Tom Tancredo, Ron Paul and Lindsey Graham have all spoken out against throwing money around in an effort to rebuild the gulf coast at any cost. They've made some reasonable suggestions how the feds can pay for Katrina relief without busting the bank.
