Is that what we are spending our money on? The money in the aid package belongs to the people - not to George Bush and the Republican Party. So, who will get the big bucks? Certainly not the workers that will be asked to rebuild New Orleans and the Gulf Coast. How immoral is this?

1. the workers will get the cheap end of the stick.
the big corporations will take the bulk of this in disaster profiteering.
the people will see little.

2. All those Casinos that will spring up will take in the rest.
Las Vegas south will become a reality.
