I have a question. If we can spend another 21 Billion dollars on a war that never made any sense then why can't we take just 2 billion of that money and help the displaced people still living in FEMA traliers. Supposdly the lines o communication broken down. The Prez blamed FEMA, FEMA blamed the Governor, the Governor blamed the Mayor, and the Mayor blamed the people for not leaving when the Government did nothing to help until it was too late. Does the Prez not have the power to activate help even if he doesn't hear from whomever. No he is too busy trying to make us belivie in a war that has no point except to say we are right and you are wrong? Have we found those wepons of mass destruction yet or are they still at 1600 Penn. Ave Washington D.C.

The WMD's are the lazy people in New Orleans that have never done anything to help themselves. Those WMD's have created havoc in places they were relocated.

they can't afford housing, but they sure can go to a football game!! they are not trying to do for themselves, i guess we own them an apology, and maybe send them some more credit cards.. they need to get off thier butts, and start helping each other out. you don't see any other state out there whinning and trying to take avantage of the system..

In over a year these people couldn't get jobs and relocate or find new homes?
Unacceptable.

Another example of FREEBIES. Only they use a tragic situation such as Katrina to rake in the bucks. Has anyone noticed that the community has yet to fully be revitalized and functional BUT the gangs, drug dealers, prostitutes and your every day scammer and user and abuser of the system was able to swing back into action...with goverment credit card in hand. Steeling is their job and my tax dollars are affording them that lifestyle. Oh, and notice the brand name gear they have on while running through the streets.

All mine...well some of the criminals relocated and found work right away. The areas where they relocated to saw the increase crime stats to prove it.

Um, the war doesn’t make sense to you, it does make sense to a lot of other people. As far as responsibility, the National Response Plan (NRP) clearly defines and divides responsibility on p. 8 of the plan. The bulk of responsibility clearly rests on the Governor of the State. Not the Mayor of the State Capital and not the President of the United States. Roles and Responsibilities are the backbone of any Law, Regulation or Plan. The local government was incompetent pure and simple, and have been successful on shirking their responsibility by claiming many *isms directed against the State by Federal Government. Someone should take responsibility, and according to the plan, it should be Blanco standing tall and answering the questions.

And by the way, we did find Weapons of Mass Destruction (WMD) in Iraq, although it didn’t look like most people thought it would, but never-the-less, we did find it, I have seen it and you have too. The WMD’s are the terrorists themselves blowing up thousands of innocent civilians.

Weapon of mass destruction (WMD) is a term used to describe a munition with the capacity to indiscriminately kill large numbers of living beings.

Illusion...your definition of WMD's sounds very similar to the welfare/entitlement mentality demonstrated in New Orleans.

Are you all bilnd to what you are saying. You are coming up with excuses and trying to talk about the worst part of socity. Is that all you can come up with statiums that create jobs or oppertunities. That was FEMA and The Prez that made that decision not the people o New Orleans or any other town. The heart of America is starting to die and most Americans do not care. Thats sad.
No this war makes no sense. We sprnd well over 600 billion a year on the "defense" of this country and I know that money is not going to our troops. So how did this happen? Did we turn our heade like with AIDS and homelessness. No WMDs as Bush explained it. Being a super power we will always make someone angery. That does not give us the right to make judgement calls. Baby bush is trying to do what his daddy couldn't do. Stop protecting your wallets and open your hearts.

According to an article I found, “Today, defense spending has fallen to 3.9% of GDP while entitlement spending has more than doubled, consuming 8.3% of GDP”

Source: http://www.humanevents.com/article.php?id=19073

Now, I have heard estimates to include the “other” defense expenditures of up to 4.7% of the GDP, which in my opinion is still a pretty good price to pay for the services provided. Heck, that’s less than a nickel on every dollar you pay in taxes. Not too shabby.

Notice, I won’t complain about entitlements, however I have a feeling that the 8.3% is low, and doesn’t not account for expenditures outside of the “Big 3” entitlement programs (Medicaid, Medicare and Social Security), I have a feeling if we had a true accounting of entitlements, the percentage would be much higher, but I do conclude that many of those programs are needed and they are being provided. Maybe not to the level you would like to see it, but those other entitlements (outside the “Big 3”) don’t benefit everyone who contributes, and are usually targeted towards the less responsible of our society. If we could all be responsible, there would be much less need for those other entitlements, and burdening the responsible to continually fulfill those needs to the point of sacrificing dollars for the defense of the country which is benefited by all is not fair.

As far as the FEMA and N.O. comment, I guess you didn’t read the plan. O well. It happens, but at the end of the day, we all watched the weather report and we all saw the size of that hurricane and where it was headed. For three days

CONT -
For three days the entire country was glued to the weather reports. It was labeled “The Big One” from the get go. Personal responsibility, Local and State Government should be blamed first. It doesn’t take a genius to figure out that when something that big comes your way, your best bet is to get out of its way. The old “ride out the storm” bit N.O. in the butt. That’s their fault and no one elses.

The WMD's were moved to another arabic country before the 2003 invasion.

Ms. Humanity

It's the lazy do nothings in New Orleans and the people that support them that are making all the excuses. A responsible person would take care of themselves and their families.

Missinghumanity, I agree totally. Yes they are blind. They will make up any excuse to support the war but have no consideration for the people that cannot rise from Katrina and Rita. It's impossible for some to feel empathy. Grant it, some have lied and taken free money. That still should not excuse the gov't from helping these people. We are helping those in Iraq but cannot help our own. Some people had insurance but the companys are not dishing out. For those who are willing to relocate, I'm pretty sure that they can find them a home in our states for free for a certain amount of time. How can someone start new with no foundation? It was not their faults that the levees broke, so why should it be on them. Here they got the new celebrities moving to LA insulting people who can't feed their kids. I know that their are some that are lazy but you can't keep using that as an excuse and that's all they're doing.

So what is your solution destany1? What percentage of the GDP should be earmarked for these programs and how long should the funding last? You identify some major issues, so let’s work on solutions. In an ideal world, how would you handle it and what checks and balances would you enact to protect the tax payer?

Grandilluion, America has money. Whether they want to spend it on them is the question. I'm not for the war so I would take some money from there agreeing with missinghumanity.

Empathy by behind! The problem is they are welfare parasites and that's all they will ever be.

Not all of them priveye. So you're saying that since there are welfare parasites, everyone else has to suffer?

All tax payers have to suffer to support your welfare parasites.

Thank you for your support there is nothing worse than calling American Citizens WMD. America has more than enough money to help Bush would rather help his rich white voters and stay the course in Iraq when we need help in other areas
