Steve,
While we may be the most powerful nation in the world, it would be a very nice gesture from the major powers in Europe and elsewhere to send some supplies and offer to help.
So far have heard nothing like that coming and doubt that we will.
Agree with your comment about "a very small part of the budget" but pls tell that to the families whose house and belongings are gone and they will be homeless for a year or more. This is a rough one for a lot of innocent people and its not going to get any better anytime soon.
The thought of being in the Gulf Coast area in the summer (90 degrees and 95% humidity) without any electricity or a home any longer is not a good one.
Few have brought it up but can anyone imagine what the West Nile situation will be like in 10 days with all these people staying outside? There are many aspects of this situation that are terrible.
