What can it mean when our president is more than willing to spend $7 billion a month to occupy and, ostensibly, rebuild Iraq, but can't see his way to spending a total of $9 billion over the course of years to rebuild and strengthen the levees that protect a major American city?
Don't say the money isn't there. that isn't the point. We don't have $7 billion a month to spend in Iraq, but we're spending it anyway. I'd say efforts to protect our own citizens are at least as important -- especially when Iraq was a war of choice for our president, and the flooding of New Orleans was an emergency situation caused mainly by poorly built levees in the first place.
America needs to rebuild its own house.
