What on earth is WRONG with these people? I just don't get it. I really, really don't. Doesn't it ever occur to them that just maybe one day somone they love might happen to be in New Orleans when a hurricane hits? It's not really that far fetched.McCain voted repeatedly against a Senate investigation into what went wrong during Katrina. Evidently, he didn't think it was worth looking into the fact that for years before Katrina, Louisiana howled at the slashing of levee funding by 44 per cent to pay for tax cuts for the rich. Even the money they were given was being handed on to incompetent Bush cronies rather than the best people for the job.
The Army Corps of Engineers now admits, for example, that they knowingly installed broken pumps manufactured by a company headed by Jeb Bush's ex-business partner and campaign donor. The same people have been given a lackadaisical contract to rebuild the levees by 2011. McCain then voted against extending unemployment benefits and medical care to Katrina refugees, or even giving extra cash for new radio systems for the emergency services.
I found the article here.
