This will be more expensive than Iraq has been over three years, according to congressional officials. hes tossing billions around, into a terrific funnel that empties into his pockets (and pockets of friends). Republicans said "Karl Rove, the White House deputy chief of staff and Mr. Bush's chief political adviser, was in charge of the reconstruction effort."

New orleans will become a rebuilt city lacking the heart that made it great, instead it will become a corporate playground. They have sent these displaced people to all kinds of places, very far from home, leaving them with the challenge of returning. Almost impossible to do without any money. Most of these people will never get to return to their homes. They will have been declared unsafe, tore down and rebuilt by the very powers that REFUSED to save them when Katrina came to New Orleans.
