Owe?
-The federal government provided more than $75 billion in post Katrina relief. That's right, $75 billion. Then teh government provided another $45 billion in rebuiulding funds. That's right, $45 billion. Then of course, Brad and Angelina provided lots more.

-Where did it all go?
- The tricklkedown theory of economics in LA is heavily filtered and leaves the truely needy at teh bottom with dry lips.
-The post-Katrina national guilt trip was a true marvel of teh PC guilt club. Another $6 Billion of charitable giving flowed in.

-Now on the other hand, lets look at the Iowa floods of 2008. Huge distruction of property and dislocation of people. The Iowans took care of most of it by themselve. Why? In my assessment, because it took place in rural America not in urban America.
-Why we are a nation whose collective reasoning process is fundamentally based on PC guilt logic rather than simple logic totally escapes me.
- And why liberals can't understand the illogic of their logic, to me seems...well..illogical.
