I'm wondering how much pro-abortion "health care" services are included in this "aid"?

[frogjerk]

They are pledging strong oversight that includes a review of no-bid contracts and close scrutiny of federal employees who now enjoy a $250,000 -- rather than a $2,500 -- purchase limit for Katrina-related expenses on their government-issued credit cards.

$250,000 limits on Credit cards?!?!?!?

[Always Right]

Yesterday, the Dems bitch about no-bid contract awards which helps speed up relief spending, now they bitch about roadblocks to spending. Which is it????

[stuartcr]

Why?

Lawmakers were turning their attention to the lucrative Katrina contracts.

And what companies to buy stock in.

[CindyDawg]

I'm wondering how many of those that need help are real and not just a name on paper.

RE: health care..Isn't half of the state on welfare already
Rita should have just carved NO out to sea. Where did all the state resources go. It's amazing , LA thinks they are the only state in need. LA gov and mayor continue to blame others for their lack of leadership

[Pessimist]

"Blanco said 40 percent of Louisiana's businesses were lost or damaged in the storm"

That figure sounds a little hard to believe...

[uncitizen]

"Bush administration raised objections to provisions that would extend Medicaid coverage to thousands upon thousands of adults who otherwise would be uninsured"

This is a very unprofessional way for a journalist to phrase the amount of people involved. Is it tens of thousands? hundreds of thousands?

"We can work with everybody, including the administration, or against them, and I'm prepared to go either way," said Sen. Trent Lott, R-Miss. "But I'm going to look after our people first."

Then why isn't Mr. Lott down in old Miss telling it's legislature to raise Missippi taxes to help their Katrina victims.?

Are not the people and businesses of Mississippi compassionate toward their own? Or, are they not only not compassionate but greedy as well. I think Lott is currently sounding more like KKK Byrd, who has the most federally funded monuments to his name in his home state.

$9 billion health care package for hundreds of thousands of evacuees

Why the heck are we paying for their healthcare? It's looking like this Katrina thing is nothing but an excuse to increase handouts at my expense.

[dalebert]

Many evacuees are not getting heath care in LA.

[mabelkitty]

Good.
Keep blocking.
They want this lottery money pushed through ASAP so they already have it in-hand before the American people find out what scum they are supporting.
Call Congress! Keep the pressure on! No bailout!

[Happy2BMe]

Blanco said 40 percent of Louisiana's businesses were lost or damaged in the storm and said the state's most pressing need is jobs.

[MNJohnnie]

Finally some Repbo Senators showing some leadership. What a refreshing change.

[b4its2late]

Does anyone trust Blanco's judgement?

[saleman]

"We are looking forward, not backward, " she said (Blanco)

I bet you are you B**ch. Cause when the investigations into your incompentence are complete, your gonna be unemployed.

[Helen]

I'm wondering why those in the gambling industry are staying so quiet.

[OldFriend]

Trent Lott can kiss my grits.

Good.. 700 non existent policemen on the N.O. police department..
Makes one wonder how deep the rabbit hole goes..

Giving MONEY to anywhere in LA.. is a crime waiting to happen.. The democrat party is in full damage control mode.. a house of cards waiting to fall.. All it will take is a republican with enough balls to BLOW ON IT.. and rock the table..
