I wonder - if we weren't spending trillions on Iraq and Afghanistan, could we help NO, patrol the borders, Homeland Security, that sort of thing? Or is chaos in the Middle East, the "defense" spending, the high oil prices with record profits for Bush's buddies worth it?

Hell, Halliburton could subcontract protecting the borders, could shovel money to 'em that way.

Feds slow, unreliable in Katrina response

GWB - He promised to spend federal money wisely and accountably. And he vowed to address the poverty exposed by the government's inadequate Katrina response "with bold action."

"Nearly half of New Orleans was still under water when President Bush stood in the Crescent City's historic Jackson Square and swore he would "do what it takes" to rebuild the communities and lives that had been laid to waste two weeks before by Hurricane Katrina"

Bush just says what sounds good at the moment, doesn't he. Without regard for facts, reality, truth. It's embarrassing, and I didn't vote for him.
