Presidents Speech Bush Pledges Federal Role in Rebuilding Gulf Coast "The work that has begun in the Gulf Coast region will be one of the largest reconstruction efforts the world has ever seen," Mr. Bush said in remarks delivered in Jackson Square against the brightly lighted backdrop of St. Louis Cathedral, a symbol of the heart and soul of New Orleans for almost three centuries.

How very insightful of you.

He's stated that he won't consider raising taxes to offset some of the reconstruction costs. So that only leaves two options: budget cuts or further deficit spending.
Budget cuts aren't the answer as those cuts would most likely come from programs designed to aid the poor, since those are the cuts the GOP always wants. It would be the height of hypocrisy to help New Orlean's poor at the expense of those in the rest of America. Maybe even W. can see that.
Deficit spending is something I've never understood from this so-called conservative. It makes no sense, but I don't think W. cares; it won't be his problem when the effects start to roll in - Bush 41's recession was a product of Reagan-era deficit spending.
This president hasn't had a balanced budget since 2001. You can blame that on whatever you want, but the fact remains we've sunk further into debt than ever before. W's answers to this problem have been tax cuts, tax cuts and more tax cuts. To top it off, costs such as those incurred from fighting the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan and the reconstruction of Iraq aren't folded into the federal budget so it's tough to know exactly how big the deficit really is except that it's obviously bigger than the OMB reports. Katrina costs will no doubt not find their way into the federal budget either.
I also have a problem in that W. wants to give more tax cuts to businesses affected by the hurricane. While that sounds good, it makes no sense as nearly all businesses are insured and don't necessarily need the extra money to go back into operation. So how is this rather pointless tax cut going to be offset?
It's bad enough that W. doesn't have a sensible plan to deal with post-war Iraq. It is, after all, another country. But to be so totally out of touch with reality when an American region is involved, well that's just shameful.
And I don't even to get into his whole lottery plan for housing.

Outsourcing, all the way to Texas. 50 million dollars for the re-election has it's advantages.

Maybe I am a women, who's to say? But if, so then I'm a woman who is so much smarter than you that you find it impossible to come up with anything clever in response to anything I post. You've got as much time as you need, but the clock is ticking.

Once again, you find yourself at a loss for something clever to say, perhaps I am a bitch, however. Should I post my home address here? Because I will, and then you have but two choices, come here and shut me up, or be exposed for what you are. I'll make it easy for you, come to KC, get on I-35 to topeka, then US 75 south for about a hundred miles, sign will say Altoona, make a right, two blocks, go a mile south, big house on the west side of the road, only one on the block, detached garage, can't miss it. Your move.
