Throwing Money At A Problem

[Occhidiangela]

well, with the cubs game, people going probably have the money to take care of longer term things, so have some left over for the cubs.  with no house and such, it seems those 2000 dollars would be spent as effeciently as possible.  Plus it's fun to stick logic into places like this where it isn't wanted.  :)

(Of course, I have no idea how these different people's minds work, so it doesn't really  matter.  the last sentence of the previous paragraph explains it.)

I am playing.

I truly think that relying on the judgment of people who did not know enough to live in a hurricane and flood zone, and not have a plan, is like relying on a giraffe to understand partical physics. :P

That said, if you start to add up burdened hourly costs of providing support and paternalistic assistance to the inept and the foolish, as well as the truly unlucky, of which there were many in Katrina's wake, the 2000 bucks probably comes off as pretty cheap. Now, does it become an entitlement? If so, why? If not, why not?

The expensive bit is $200 billion.

To do what?

That question will require a no nonsense Congressional oversight effort. Wait a minute, who the hell am I kidding? There is neither the will nor the integrity available in Congress to do that.

I'll sign up. I can be a real sonofabitch at need, and this situation needs one.
