My thought is NO. I never thought that the economy could handle another 4 years of Dubya even without this.
It will be 2006 before people can have drinkable running water in homes but these people have guns now.
Those that know me know that I would love to blame the administration for this but it's not easy.
Think about a bill presented by the senator of Lousiana for $250,000,000 to build damns in his state. How is he going to get the support of CA, NY or any other state blue or red? He ain't and it don't matter what 100 reports says. He ain't gonna get it.
Blame the administration for starting the war in Iraq, giving huge amounts of tax dollars to friends and family and spending more then our great grand children can repay. You can blame the administration for not being able to provide support in a week to 10 days but voters would not allow them to spend the 100s of millions of dollars needed to keep that city above water.
I don't think it's a racial issue but the news will make it so. It's about money and power and NO never had enough of either to keep he city above water.
