If a natural disaster of that magnitude hits any major metropolitan area in the USA I would expect this nation to do a hell of a lot better in managing the results.

That does not equate to "handouts" it simply means that as a nation we should be able to deal with disasters of this magnitude.

That we did not do so is indeed a disgrace and shows that this Government is simply a bloodsucking leech on the people of this country instead of the leaders and administrators they like to think they are.

IMHO of course.

It is not a racial issue, nor is it simply a case of not caring about the poor. The storms that ravaged the Gulf Coast were not choosey.

Neither will be a major quake in California or along the upper Mississippi.
