Just an idea..

Rather than spending 200 billion taxpayer dollars to rebuild New Orleans, how about we give private industry a 5 year federal tax amnesty in the region? If they are willing to build, rebuild, or expand in the area, they only pay local taxes for whatever period of time seems reasonable. I haven't seen this idea thrown out there anywhere, but I think it would work. They could lease or buy the land from the city, a portion could be designated for residential, the rest for industry. Wouldn't walmart expand there? Couldn't GM use the tax breaks? And both of these businesses would create jobs. I know it wouldn't be that simple, but some version of this seems more reasonable than what the president is proposing right now, which is big government, new deal, type tax and spend programs.

its sickening how liberals actually get off on the misfortune of others if it can advance their agenda. NOBODY is fortunate that katrina occured and the sooner you get that thru your sick mind the sooner you will be able to engage in intelligent arguments. stop being a schadenfreude

deflect negative attention from who? the media? I don't think so. No matter what happens he's going to be under fire. By the way, he is doing a great job in Iraq.

Hey gargie, news flash for you, when you go to war, people die. fact of life, tough one but true. In WWII we lost a couple of people too, but if the U.S. was made up of softies like you back then we wouldn't have gone over. We would have made a world peace memorial at Pearl Harbor being extra careful not to offend the japanese or the germans. Maybe we could have shaped it like a rising sun, or a swastika. Then Hitler would have thrown down his arms and started a rousing version of kumbaya.........
