I posted the thread about the $2000 Debit Cards for Katrina Victims and it's interesting to see people's opinions.

I think this is great that we'e making an active move to help these people out. $2000 isn't a lot of money in this day and age. For a family of 4 or 5 that money will not go far but it's something.

I tend to believe that money alone isn't always the solution and in some ways may exacerbate the issue.

There may be some merit to giving these people a new life and a new opportunity. Give them a shot at success, be it an education, a new home, a new job, some new responsiblity. Give them incentive to improve their lives in spite of the tragedy.

Our economy doesn't put enough emphasis on the value of Human Resources. I'll challenge that we have the best nation of people who can make a difference in the world. The result of this tragedy could be a large scale program that could yeild in a new American economy if you rallied the victims and encouraged them to join force.

One thing that came to mind is utilizing open acerage in the Midwest to grow and cultivate corn for Ethanol. I could see us moving to a renewale fuel economy on Ethanol or some other natural fuel. I think that there are opportunities to help the homeless and the poor improve their lives and give them a second chance in life.
