DU this survey from Rep. Ted Poe (R-Tx)
http://www.house.gov/poe/katrinasurvey.htm

Survey: Paying for Hurricane Katrina
Hurricane Katrina has devastated countless communities on the Gulf Coast. The relief effort is underway, but the costs of cleaning and rebuilding cities such as New Orleans and Biloxi will be immense.

This survey began on Tuesday, September 6 and will end Tuesday, September 27.

Where should the federal government find the money to pay for its share of the rebuilding costs?
Make Your Selections (Pick all that apply)
Increase income taxes.
Cut foreign aid.
Cut domestic spending.
Implement temporary hurricane relief tax.
Cut military spending.
Increase tariffs on imported goods.
Eliminate social services provided to illegal immigrants.

:wtf:

How about rolling back tax breaks for the wealthy?
Windfall profit tax on the oil companies?

11. I checked "Other" and said: offer survivors jobs rebuilding (reduces u.i.)
Edited on Wed Sep-21-05 02:25 PM by adaada
(U.I. is unemployment insurance)
I also checked "increase taxes" and "reduce military spending"

Too bad they didn't offer more "other"s, because I would have said, "cut military pork first." (a la missing billions in Iraq)

Guess I should vote again...
