New Orleans is getting ready to ask for foreign aid because aid from Washington to rebuild is slow in coming and not enough. We have plenty to waste in failed rebuilding efforts in Iraq, but when it comes to our own people, the amount of funds needed just arent there, according to our leaders. Now, a nation that used to pride itself on giving out foreign aid has resigned itself to receiving it. I think most of the foreign aid which comes in should go to the Army Corp of Engineers, whose budget has been slashed in half. On the other hand, letting our own cities fend for themselves and go hat in hand to other nations might be a shrewd move by Bush to balance the budget......... Balance the budget? NOT.
