It is absolutely awful, Nisha. These people lost everything they owned and now Bush is expecting them to be able to start their entire lives over with $2,000. Most of these people spent their entire lives and all their income building what they had, only to lose it in this storm. If you think about it, the reason there's been such lawlessness in New Orleans after the hurricane is b/c there aren't enough National Guard troops to keep order there. Why aren't there enough troops? B/c they're all fighting a non-existent War over in Iraq, a war which had no basis to begin with (except for Bush Jr.'s wish to avenge his father's defeat there), and which is costing billions and billions of dollars. This money which is being wasted away in Iraq could have been used to help these poor people whose lives have been ravaged by the hurricane.
I heard the most ridiculous thing yesterday on the news. B/c the lines to receive the $2,000 aid were so long, they are now only granting requests for aid online….. 😡 Whose idiotic idea was this??? These people's entire lives have been torn apart—I find it highly unlikely that they'll be able to access a computer right now and apply for aid online....
I really think that by the time Bush leaves office (not until 2008 ðŸ˜), America is going to be completely ruined...
