:mad Bush lied about Katrina rebuilding. Let them eat cake.

So much for spending what it takes.

Katrina money bill doubtful Cochran: Bush not backing it

Bush wanted the initial Katrina relief package to be half of what it was, thank goodness at that time there was bi-partisan support to really help, but it looks like he's changed his mind about the rebuilding money he promised.

It's going to be real interesting down here as local governments do whatever they have to do to survive. There's barely been a dent put into rebuilding, so much stuff is wrapped up in red tape.
