Thats awful, but no suprise the federal goverment is corrupt and inept, if that contractor had been doing the work for a private company he would have been sued for breach of agreement and never get another job again.

Now those of you who want our health care nationalized, read the article Muffy posted, carefully, because that will be the same competance you will get if we go that route, is that what everybody really wants?

The Government sucks at everything it does domestically. We would be far better off if our roads, schools, and other institutions were privatized.

On behalf of the hard-working American tax payers I would like to apologize to Chalmette and all the others affected directly by Katrina. There is absoulutly no excuse for the (pardon my French) pis poor performance you all have received from the various federal agencies since this disaster occured. It has been inexcusable.

It is not going to be a matter of electing Democrats or Republicans. Nothing short of a complete top to bottom review of the function of every aspect of the government is needed. Or as Robert Stack says in "Beavis and Butthead do America, " Full Cavity search, Go Deep"

Sorry for the long post this just makes me very angry.
