So far, this is not happening.

And the money that is being wasted is yours and mine.

The projected hundreds of billions for rebuilding...you and I will be
paying it.

The lives that have been lost are your fellow Americans.

They could have been yours or your family.

Granted, but it wasn't Bush's fault. He declared a federal state of
emergency before the hurricane even hit. The locals authority did not
even implement their federally-required evacuation plan. The local
authorities failed to provide first, or even 2nd response. Then the
Governor sat on her ass rather than authorize federal intervention.

The Federal government has, and always has had, authority to
intervene without authorization of a governor. Absent the
governor being incapacited, as by the disaster itself, that
should never be necessary for the Federal government to act
independently of or over the objection of the state government.
This time it was.
