what would he have done for the Fortress-foreclosed families?

These are the sorts of things that the Democrats figure the government (everyone else - including those whose fault this is NOT) should pay for. It makes them look oh so much better.

I can't count the number of times I've heard Democrats lambasting the Bush administration for spending money in Iraq instead of bailing out Katrina.

Certainly the government has a part in rebuilding the infrastructure and providing all the aid they can, but since when has the government been responsible for bailing out uninsured private home losses? If we bailed out all the Katrina victims for trillions, wouldn't all the Florida hurricane victims expect the same? What about the wildfire losses in California? Should the government be our homeowners insurance? And what's next...replacing our cars, our laptops?

Democratic compassion sounds a lot like socialism to me, and it sounds worse coming from someone who clearly lives in that "other America" who made his fortune off the legal and property losses of others.
