8. BILLIONS spent in Iraq, but NO money for the Levees
Billions have not only been diverted to Iraq, but have
DISAPPEARED in the FUBAR Iraq travesty.but no money was put into the levee.
Does ANYONE get the full implication of this
abomination?
Homeland security money went WHERE?

27. One known occurrence of 8.8 billions in cash to be exact
was "distributed" inside brown paper bags to (who? and how much to each who?) in Iraq... Who's asking for ACCOUNTABILITY about that loot??

At the very least, the IRS should ask SOME questions!


It seems many taxpayers who got charged on their National cc for that blatant robbery forgot about it already. :(

9. I am not surprised
Without shoring up the entire system before moving ANY water, it was only a matter of time before the heavily battered system would breach again, especially with the new added pressure of the refilled Lake Ponchertrain.
