1. Greece volunteered
two cruise liners to home the homeless tied up along the Mississippi River in town (FOR FREE.) The offer was rejected, then the feds spent hundreds of millions of dollars paying for an American Cruise line ship for the same purpose.

Like republicans say, the government does not work, put us in charge and we'll prove it.

Oh, by the way, the pumps fucked up (did not work) last friday during a heavy rain causing massive street flooding in town.

2. It's Criminal
How dare they subject our fellow citizens to languish unaided? To die unnecessarily? Isn't that criminal negligence? Isn't that an impeachable offense?

It's documented that the White House - Bush - knew that the levees were improperly constructed and would fail. But, instead of notifying Gov. Blanco and Mayor Nagin, Bush did nothing. Hundreds died, thousands suffered, and losses totaled billions of dollars.

That is criminal negligence!

3. To THINK that these people are STILL suffering
$800 MILLION - I think it was $854 Million - would have rebuilt awhole lot of homes & businesses.

CRIMINAL!
