Isaac part 3
No shortage of hypocrisy in red state Louisiana. Yesterday on the radio they interviewed a woman self identified as a Republican whose house was under 12 feet of water who said that President Obama had done nothing. Why wasn't this person challenged? Obama released Federal aid before the hurricane struck. She hadn't seen anyone because her house was still under water. Where was the question about why she didn't have flood/ hurricane insurance? Where was the pointing out that being a Republican is all about providing for yourself? Talk about creating a culture of dependency on the Federal government. When I thought it couldn't get any worse it happened again. In this morning's Wisconsin State Journal another Republican from Louisiana said that the President should spend whatever it takes to build a better levy system for the rest of the State. What happened to "State rights and responsibilities"? Why should the rest of the taxpaying citizen's of the United States who work hard, have homeowners insurance, and flood insurance, whose state and local governments build flood control structures, regulate building,... have to pay for the irresponsible management of Louisiana? Where is tea party nation and the Republican party on this? When the President agrees to rebuilding Louisiana we'll hear from both groups about the billions added to the deficit. Although neither group came out against the spending before it was done. Hypocrisy and nonsense and irresponsible spending of taxpayer money.
