It is really not so much the cost, but WHO IS GOING TO PAY IT...the taxpayers or the states and their people??

So call you congress people and ask them to cut the pork from the highway bill and other bills as President Bush suggested last Friday. Just stop your whining guys and stop attacking the President for everything under the sun.

Guess there are a lot of short memories these days.
Ronald Reagan spent BILLIONS on defeating the Soviet Union.
Evidently SAVING American lives is not a worthy cause to some so called conservatives.

The federal government should rebuild assets that are federal government owned and maintained. The state government should rebuild those facilities that are owned and maintained by the state. Lastly, local government should rebuild those enities that are under local control.
National private charities (Red Cross, Salvation Army, others), faith based charities and caring Americans are doing a tremendous job in helping those individuals hit hard by this disaster.

LOL---why am I not surprised that YOU are the one posting this article...
FWIW....I am a hugh Pence fan, as well as Jeb Hensarling, from my state...and Jeff Flake from Arizona..and the others in that conservative group....I wish them much, much success.
However, I will not walk over Bush's body to get to them...doncha know!
So, we are not on opposite sides...we just have different views of the same side!!!!

If Dubya is so concerned about wasteful government spending, maybe he should try VETOING pork-laden spending bills.

The bid to work conservative programs, such as education vouchers, into Gulf aid could help bridge those gaps. So all you have to do is pour enough pork into Louisiana and even those who claim to be fiscal conservatives can be brought around.

Okay...let's see here.
Republicans split over whatever...
The ones that "leave"...where do they go with their vote? Do they stay home on election day?
Another Perot-type candidate may emerge...and that would see history repeating itself by electing a Clinton to the Presidency with less than 44% of the popular vote.
IOW, what? Me worry??
There is NO WAY Hillary Clinton will be elected President. NONE ZILCH NADA.

For a president who campaigned on Ronald Reagan's legacy of limited government.......Ignores the dangers of NO border enforcement...And promised to appoint a Scalia-Thomas type justice to the Supreme Court, Dubya is (fill-in-the-blank.)

We should have no problem helping our fellow Americans. Disaster can strike anywhere in our country & we could all face some sort of nature driven or terrorist manufactured calamity. My problem is with the thieving politicians (both sides of the aisle) that congregate on $ like flies on excrement & SPEND our $ like drunken swabs at a strip club.No matter what steps are taken to insure fiscal accountability, the corrupt bastards always find a way around it.

In a comment to reporters last week, House majority leader Tom DeLay said that after 11 years of a Republican majority, there wasn't much fat to cut in the federal budget.
NOtice there are no quotation marks in Delay's supposed comment. That's because they could not find a quote in which Delay said the above.
I read the article on Delay last week and his position is that no group is sponsoring cuts. That's a long way from saying there's no fat.
It's saying that there's no consensus among the pubbie reps themselves for rocking the boat right now.

"Congress must ensure that a catastrophe of nature does not become a catastrophe of debt for our children and grandchildren," says Rep. Mike Pence (R) of Indiana, who chairs the Republican Study Group, a top conservative caucus. Draft Mike Pence 2008!
