Ha ha! Where are you GETTING these?
The people in Louisiana are going to keep up the whining and folks are just going to get tired of it and turn their backs on them. The problem with that is, the charities that are helping out down there help in a lot of other situations too. If people stop giving, folks all over are going to be hurt by it.
Tell Gov. Blank0 to return the money she spent upgrading her offices to Taj Mahal standards.
We need more … Calgon!

Screw you Senator. Until folks like Nagin can shut up until he's willing to be thankful he's an American - and all the rest who think it's their right to everyone else's help, for that matter.
Of course the Republican majority congress is all too happy to oblige and give her whatever money it takes to cajole, capitulate & appease a DimWit. Not to say a liberal DimWit at that!
The Repubs are gladly throwing our money at this sinkhole, but it doesn't bother them either. I would love to stop the handouts 100% right now, and say to LA & NO... "you're on your own now"!
I'm not too good at math, but somebody tell me; wouldn't 70 billion be enough to allow every family that lost a home $100,000 to rebuild a home? The money would not go to the politicians or directly to the families. It would go to the builders after the home was completed and inspected by the gov. What is so hard about rebuilding if the folks still own the property and enough builders take part in construction?
I totally agree. Plus, if NO is to be a Chocolate City I think Chocolates ought to pay for the reconstuction. Surely we can't expect the non-chocolates to pay for it. Isn't there something in the Bible that say's, the Lord help's those who help themselves?
Also, the Mayor say's the media scrutinises every word He says. When one tries to scam the non-chocolates for $200 billion I believe one can expect scrutiny.
