He said that, after the constitution, the government should only be responsible for the police and all that stuff. He said that the government should not take care about health care, unemployment, that people who are not able to work shouldn't get support from the government. He even was angry that there was "so much money" spent to help the people in New Orleans after Katrina... <BR/>It made me really mad, because I think government should definately help the people who need help quickly. His ideas are just ridiculous. Who else would help those people if not the government?<BR/>It's unacceptable that people in New Orleans still have to live like that. The government should help those people (instead of spending all that money on the war. )<BR/>Anyways, I finally gave up on that discussion and went to bed because I was so sick of listening to that narrow-minded person talking.

Our country was really unprepared for something like that and i think it shows with how long it is taking to rebuild.

Hurricane Katrina survivors weren't so lucky. Giving children camera's to record there sad story and losses seemed depressive. I think the government should get off their lazy butts and help those in need, don't give them cameras! Give them Help! The government needs to step up and help those buy providing temporary homes, supplies, and provide a continueing education for children and young people.Miss Makarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09665093367856810991noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2401445845131091225.post-71858880566158588122008-02-04T09:47:00.001-06:002008-02-04T09:47:00.001-06:00thats wierd becuz even with all the flooding goin ...thats wierd becuz even with all the flooding goin on, we still had football practicejdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13600123948137172249noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2401445845131091225.post-65719163610759809532008-02-04T09:47:00.000-06:002008-02-04T09:47:00.000-06:00dats a lit ot watre!dats a lit ot watre!drake2https://www.blogger.com/profile/13884811105481669966noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2401445845131091225.post-51162424311626825202008-02-04T09:46:00.000-06:002008-02-04T09:46:00.000-06:00I Think That We Should Have Been Prepared Instead ...I Think That We Should Have Been Prepared Instead Of Just Thinking That It Wouldn't Flood That Bad...We Should Have Expected It Because It Hadn't Rained For Quite A While Before That.

The gov't should be worrying about their own country first instead of other countries. Yea sure other countries need help to but I think in order to take care of others we have to take care of ourselves first. There are still people that are in need of homes and food in the Southern states and now there are people in the Midwest that are the same way and the gov't isn't really doing anything to help. Everyone thinks this country is so great but if it's that great then why can't we take care of our own people?Ruthanne Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14352984906984773359noreply@blogger.com
