Sorry Guest G--

I have attacked Hubby's sources, and stated that if he believes his ABC interviews exonerate Mr. Bush in the eyes of most New Orleans citizens for his unconscionable dilatory first response to the crisis, he is mistaken. Everybody agrees that Bush's recent speech said a lot of the right things about restoring New Orleans.

However, a few points.

1) The proof of the pudding......

2) Bush now claims that there will be no taxes raised to pay for the proposed $200 billion project he cites--that it will all come from cuts in the federal budget. This in addition to the continuing war in Iraq (isn't that about $1 billion per day?), the new Medicare drug program, and of course, the sacrosanct tax cuts ( of which even more are proposed). As Amos has pointed out, this goes LBJ's "guns and butter" dilemma one better. Would you mind enlightening us as to where the $200 billion will in fact come from?   (Of course it will also be done without raising interest rates or alarming our Chinese and other foreign creditors.) I await your response with eager anticipation.
