Strangely enough, the very folks that advocate the things like good, schools, better infrastructure, etc...are the very ones who refuse to allow changes that might fix them. They admit public schools are failures, yet aadvocate doing the same things that we have done for decades. Virtually prohibit competition, maintain as much federal control as possible, but continue to throw more money at a system that has never worked well.

The reason that the current administration must "throw" money at the New Orleans situation is obvious. With a hostile press, they know that whichever way they go...they will be wrong. Be fiscally conservative...and they are called racist, etc.....Spend the money and they are irresponsible.

What do liberals expect after advocating a welfare state...for people that have never had to accept responsibility for their actions in their lifetime to suddenly do so in a crisis?...Hardly....

And what do liberals expect after years of their buying these folks votes with pork and social programs...that the other party will step up a put the same folks on a starvation diet ...ensuring that they will never be a majority party again?

If people want to fix things like this...a revolution is not needed...they must start in their own communities. Fix your own schools with your own money. Don't use illegals for labor etc..that undercuts the economy. Elect fiscal conservatives..and those who would aadvocate alternatives to the current public schools (vouchers, etc)...let competition fix the problems...as it always does when allowed to.
