2. and they d*mn well

ought to get union wages and benefits.

[gkhouston]

3. shhh.... the CCC was a commie pinko plot

that built a lot of the highways, dams, and schools we're still using today. We can't possibly try doing something that might work... we're on a roll here.

[Desertrose]

4. nah, that makes too much sense....

and too little profit for Halliburton & friends

[bettyellen]

5. they'll arrest them for looting and make em work for free.

that's how giuliani cleaned up times square.

[xmas74]

6. That makes the most sense.

Give the contract to the city itself. Let the people help decide what areas will be rebuilt and when. Let them profit from destruction.

[FloridaPat]

Last I heard the Halliburton contracts are for navel bases. I don't

think they're doing NO etc yet.

7. That's how an FDR would have handled it

Put decency back in the minds of men by putting them back to work.

8. at the very least, Halliburton should be forced to hire them!!!

[Misunderestimator]

9. the displaced men? how about the displaced people... then I agree with

you.

10. Jobs are great

but not in a hazmat area.

12. The Federal Govt should create a new city...

a communal city..to be a tent city at first...and all who are able could be taken to the new area and live there and work to build their own homes and new city...there is enough land just open in the usa..so that a city for 50,000 displaced people could live and develop their own new city...could build the homes, start the businesses...and the federal govt should provide the money for the infrastructure and building of the city and homes...and pay the workers to boot. not a replacement for new orleans..but all these displaced people need a new start and a place to live now. i know..this is way too communistic to be considered..but it could be a very good thing in the long run for these displaced humans..a new life in a city they built themselves.

11. I'm sure they can get minimum wage jobs from Halliburton

But I'm betting they'll have to move to the Dominican Republic to get hired first.

13. Expect most of the 10.5 Billion Aid to be Eaten by Fat Cats

Just like the 8 Billion Cash swallowed up in Iraq and not accounted for.
