Progress = handout ?

Seems awfully funny that only those in NO are asking for handouts from the federal government - where are all the rest of Katrina and Rita "victims" ?

Probably out working and rebuilding their lives on their own without waiting for the government.

You should be ashamed of yourself here on a CONSERVATIVE forum. Geez, the idlers on DU would welcome your comment.

I have nothing to be ashamed of. Conservatives don't all bow to the Bushkin like the majority on this forum seem to do. There is nothing non-conservative about wanting to fix a problem that needs fixing, especially if it makes economic sense to do so. This measure was not a gimme program, it was a loan, to be repaid by those who redevelop the properties. What's wrong with this approach?

BTW, having attended both Clinton impeachment rallies in Washington, DC should tell you that I am certainly not a liberal.
