Are you serious in believing that ideas and plans only are supported in official Congressional documentation? Consensus has to be built well before legislation is even considered, otherwise it's a waste of valuable legislative time. The point I was trying to make in general is that there has been knowledge about this plan within the halls of Congress for several months now. It has been discussed in both houses of Congress for several months and has been received widespread bi-partisan favorable reaction and support. For Bush to claim ignorance of this plan is not being honest. If it's spinning by anyone, it's Bush himself.
If it had widespread support in the 'halls of Congress' there'd be more than six cosponsors. And from other states than LA. There'd also be companion Bills in the senate.
This 'gimmee, gimmee - I screwed up and built in a swamp that's also a Hurricane zone Bill' has neither and is going nowhere.
The US taxpayers aren't going to fall for it. The entire state is corrupt - from top to bottom - and 'we' taxpayers and OUR Reps know it.
Want to rebuild, fine, RAISE YOUR TAXES accordingly. If it takes a 150% increase so be it. Can't afford that, move.
