Is It Fair That Hurricane Victims Will Get So Much Aid?
RECEIVED Tue., Oct. 11, 2005
Dear Editor,
If you heard Bush promising the billions dog-eared for flights to the moon by 2012, you would have heard history in the making: While tens of thousands are still suffering after Katrina & Rita, Bush tries to make positive for space workers at NASA and their subcontractors, such as Halliburton, Bell Helicopter, and others.

Ninety percent of those people who stayed, but were later rescued in New Orleans, were the poorest of the poor. Some will get FEMA mobile homes for 15 years to life, with no payback.
Couldn't a homeless veteran lose everything as well, devoid of a hurricane, still have nothing, while those who lived on welfare in New Orleans will continue to collect, but who are now “given” extra perks that veterans will never realize with what little life they may have left?
And who picks up the tab for higher interest rates? The poorest of the poor‚ that's who. Have you noticed that the highest “tax cut” in USA history was given to the richest Americans, which includes the people who have billions and more than 10,000 others with millions of dollars, but will Bush reverse that tax cut? You bet he won't! That would be reneging on his promise to his rich family and friends.
The recovery money will come from cuts in programs for the poor.
We all know this. True?
What happened to this land I love so very much that cares so little for the heartbeat of this country, the veterans, whom we owe more to than forcing them into being helplessly homeless nomads.
The evacuees are given‚ homes, food, clothes, and money-filled ATM cards. Aren't homeless veterans and their families evacuees?
The evacuees from New Orleans will gain even more than they had prehurricanes‚ and post-hurricanes.
Is that fair?
