Educated Guess...

[Grayton Kid]

Make an educated guess on how much money goes to the war a year not even every month!

Then search it on Google or if you already know it then there..

Then think that that money could do so much!
half that money could do so much...

think about how how many people still dont have homes in New Orleans..
and how all that money could build TONS of homes in america and save tons of people who are living on the street...

Heres a story I wrote for school...

GK; good write;

Good heart!!!

We all know how much $$$$ is going to the war... Hopefully things will change soon and our troops will be home safe and sound SOON!

Unfortunately because FEMA is a Federal entity; the bureaucracy stands strong on the organization; many fingers can point to the events that did and did not happen thanks to Katrina; but the good news is that FEMA developed WHAT they THINK will be a proactive method of response in the future...---->>>CLICKY

;-)



BTW; take a guess how much $$$$ this cost the U.S. . . . . .

You are right, GK. That's a lot of dough. Seems like a lot more good could be coming of it.

GK; here is a great article by a man named Daniel Rothschild; IMHO hits it right on the head..... this guy has been around the news media quite a bit...

I have seen pics in HOPE Ar. but yet to see any from S.F. Louisiana..I know they are there or were there, but seems to be no photos easily procured on the net...

Grayton Kid-Let uncle skunky give you a bit of advice as you get older. Do NOT fall in the trap of thinking that the government is a magic pot of cash whose job it is to dole out money to every project it can find. All the money the government has comes from YOU(eventually) and I. Many of the people in New Orleans who are without housing beyond a FEMA trailer now were 100% dependent on government money for food, clothing and shelter BEFORE Katrina. Our Government has robbed them of the skills needed to cope with adversity in the name of charity. If you add up the money 'the government' has already thrown at urban poverty since way back in the 20th century, it would probably be enough to fund dozens of wars. I know it sounds mean, but when it is your tax dollars being used to fund insanity, you might just say, "hey, Uncle Skunky was right". Maybe;-)

Realistically, how many of those folks on the dole CAN work? I know there is a percentage that is truly unable to work due to mental illness or disability, but I'd love to see us make welfare for able-bodied folks a temporary crutch rather than a lifestyle.
