You've probably heard about the
$2000 debit cards people are getting to help out in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina.
What about $200,000 per family?
$200,000 per family to start a new life would go a long way, but that isn't for Katrina victims. The $200,000 of US Government funds is actually for re-settlement of people being forced to leave the Gaza Strip and the West Bank in Israel.
What are the priorities of our Government?
Update [2005-9-8 12:10:4 by BigRock]:
The original title was "$2000 debit card per adult vs. $200,000 per family", but I have been informed it is per household not per adult.
On a personal note i'm a registered Independent. If I had to choose between corrupt Republicans vs. corrupt Democrats, I would vote Democrat (and have). At least the money would be spent to help our own citizens first.
Add that to not allowing the media to take pictures of the dead in New Orleans, I am extremely angry at our current government.
