How does this make sense? The president sets some sort of "bring em on" mandate to clear out the Katrina aftermath shelters by mid-October. (Not sure why this makes sense - the fact that people are in shelters is a symptom - how does this solve the problem that people have no place to live?)
So, regardless if it makes sense or not, in order to meet this deadline, we are moving people out of shelters, and into hotels?
The NYT reports that we are spending $11million a day on these hotels, with the outlay for hotels expected to grow to $425 million by 10/24.
They still can't tell you where this money is going to come from, and this is just a tiny piece of the billions that we will spend providing aid to the region. Just like they can't tell you where the hundreds of billions that they are spending in Iraq is going to come from.
Is anyone in this administration even coherent?
Conservatives, wake up! As always, rather than looking at the supply side of the tax equation - which is the taxes that we take in - we should be looking at the spending side of the equation, and how we are spending and wasting money.
These neocons are ruining the country, and well meaning conservatives are doing nothing to stop them!
