In what can only be hailed as the pinnacle of short-sightedness, the Bush Administration, in an effort to toss money at the Hurricane Katrina disaster in order to deflect ever-increasing criticism over the Federal government's botched handling, is proposing on the back end, that the money used to rebuild New Orleans be obtained via cutting various government programs, including funding to the Army Corps of Engineers and other projects involved in strengthening the Louisiana levee system. Unbelievable!


To reach $62 billion in savings, Cato Institute analysts Chris Edwards and Stephen Slivinski have proposed cutting NASA in half, slashing energy research and subsidies just as Congress is gearing up to increase them in the face of soaring gasoline prices, cutting the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers' budget by $4.6 billion after its levees failed to protect New Orleans, and eliminating $4.2 billion in homeland security grants while lawmakers are debating the nation's lack of preparedness.

If you're going try to make a point, any chance you can do it without looking like an illiterate goober?

People submit stories, we publish them, then people can comment, correct, or elaborate on things. We always list references to our stories. If you have a critique, we welcome it, but calling something not "fair and balanced" without providing any details is totally useless.
