$11 Million a Day Spent on Hotels for Storm Relief
The New York Times reports: "Straining to meet President Bush's mid-October deadline to clear out shelters, the federal government has moved hundreds of thousands of evacuees from Hurricane Katrina into hotel rooms at a cost of about $11 million a night, a strategy local officials and some members of Congress criticize as incoherent and wasteful."
The incompetence of this administration has been demonstrated time and time again -- and the American public seems to be catching on. Bush's approval ratings are the lowest of his five years in office. Even religious right conservatives -- Bush's base -- are questioning his actions.
The 2006 elections are not that far away. Hopefully the indictments against Rep. Tom DeLay, the problems facing Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist, and a scandal ridden White House will be the motivation voters need to clean house!
Don't agonize, organize ... that's my mantra. Change won't happen unless you work to make it happen! But sometimes even your best efforts don't provide the results you were looking for. Or sometimes a situation is just so completely outrageous that all you can do is say ... YIKES!
