How can money be squandered that was promised but not delivered?
New Orleans was a separate disaster from the hurricane. Had the levees not failed the Katrina story would have had little to do with them. I'm talking about hundreds of square miles leveled that had nothing to do with failures of government. The government failures started after the storm and continue today. If the Bush administration had spent even a fraction of the time they did rallying against equal rights for homosexuals, preventing stem cell research and trying to convince Americans that winning in Iraq is the only way they are safe instead on making insurance companies accountable and delivering promised relief we wouldn't be having this conversation.
