		<description>Not to mention, flood damage (not covered by insurance) is so much more important to them than hurricane damage (covered by insurance).... it is really hard to prove hurricane damage vs flood damage.

big business wins again with the REPUGnicans.

Much less the fact that it was poor blacks that died.....

for bigots, that is gravy.

FYI:  I AM WHITE.</description>

		<description>Did any of you ever wonder about what happens to your social security money you pay in if you are single and die before retirement?

Lets just sayâ€¦. begin work at 18 and go till 60â€¦. so that is 42 yearsâ€¦ even at a modest $8.00 per hour average of 35 hours per week (this is just off the top of my head)â€¦.. $14,560 per year - you pay 8% they match it so 16% (taking into account things change so I average)â€¦. $2329.60 annuallyâ€¦plus 4% (I am sure the financial guruâ€™s get a better return on this)â€¦ so $100 interest annually â€¦.. I donâ€™t compound this for simplicityâ€¦.

I get $102,043.20â€¦. so if you die at 60â€¦. single (or gay in a relationship) the GOVERNMENT GETS YOUR MONEYâ€¦

		<description>Ok, so lets look at if you begin work at 20 under those circumstances and only collect $1000/year from 67 (yes, now it is 67 for some) and you live to 75...

(many people at those wages only get about $500. per month) so I&#039;ll double it....

you will receive 96,000.00 so they STILL KEEP $6,043.20... BUT COLD HARD FACTS.... how often does that happen?

Now multiply that by the years they have been gathering the money????

That is like a big ole&#039; lottery for the government.</description>

		<description>Do you think that the delay in helping hurricane victims was motivated by greed?

Dumbya has said he is in favor of a 95% world population decrease.

Less poor folk equal less welfare and assistance.

Less poor folk and less folk equal less social security to have to pay out (if they lived to collect it, and their children collected on their parents)

and the Archie Bunker mentality probably think less black folk (that makes me ill to say) is just gravy for them.

This whole WH group reminds me of Archie Bunker with power.</description>

		<description>#24 and #25  Hotfroggy+ and Marie

I, too, find it disgusting that so many of those folks who acted so gentle and mellow back in the &#039;60s turned from tie-dyed to Brooks Brothers so easily.  We thought the Age of Aquarius would last and that our generation were in the vanguard of a movement away from War and other forms of competition.

Alas...we were wrong!  BUMMER!</description>

		<description>Halliburton never misses an opportunity.  Allbaugh knows which side his bread is buttered.  He wants a piece for himself and he will pave the road for more  Halliburton contracts -- so they both win!  They are so bold, so shameless, they are all the same.  Theirs is the &quot;ME&quot; generation on steroids.</description>

		<description>This is good news New Orleans, you too will have 3 hours of power per day in about 6 months just like Iraq. Make sure you snatch-up one of the embroidered towels, they&#039;ll be collectors items in the near future.</description>

		<description>Yes, Yes, Yes... the Golf Coast will be an excellent playground for the wealthy.  Hundred thousand dollar well-trained polo horses will have new polo grounds to romp on day and night.  Enough of those po&#039; folk that can&#039;t support themselves.  They will always need a government handout.  They can stay in Barbara&#039;s backyard.  Keep them in Texas with the Mexican illegals.

Halliburton and KBR are going to have a hayday everyday.

progressive and proud is just proud, hardly progressive.

We need progress for the wealthy, not the poor.  Let them smoke reefer.

Keep those checks flowing to Bush I and Clinton.</description>

		<description>Remember Halliburton rips off the USA and taxpayers.  It gouges for services, and when it gets caught, passes the buck.

My friend Michael Martin worked for Halliburton, he did work in the Middle East.  He made a whopping $12 an hour. On top of that he received $15/day for working in a HAZARDOUS AREA.  $15/day for his life?  Guess that is what the folks at Halliburton thought his life was worth.  He was killed by a suicide bomber.  He left behind a son that will never have the opportunity to know his dad.  

ALL FOR $15 one day.  Halliburton didn&#039;t even offer to help with funeral expenses.</description>
