Katrina fiascos cost us $2 billion. Nothing like abuse to kill the American spirit of compassion. I don't want to hear one word about the plight of Katrina victims any more. Sorry, I'm done. You squandered the good will and the money we sent you. Now you're on your own. The next time you get walloped with a hurricane and things are bad, look elsewhere for help. You remain unprepared and unorganized. The idiot Mayor and their lackwitted Governor are going to send their state over the cliff again this year. Let New Orleans go and rebuild it somewhere sensible this time.
Feds eye Stevens' home remodeling project
Feds eye Stevens' home remodeling project . Thank God they're going after this guy. He's been so brazen with his porkbarreling and the whiff of corruption around him has been ripe enough to smell from here. I'd rather have a 100% democrat run Congress if they were ethical. Term limits. One term for Senate, two for the House, one for the President. Some fear that would increase the power of lobbyists. Simple, ban any former members from being lobbyists and limit lobbyists to terms as well. (I'm not sure how that would work. Just a thought.) The other answer is transparency. No earmarks without a floor vote. No spending of any kind without a floor vote. All spending committees (intelligence aside) open to the public and recorded and available on the web.
