the man-made disaster of the welfare state, page-65

myrium,
Of course you are right. The local authorities that so badly bungled this disaster must be held accountable.

These local authorities and politcal hacks turned an already extremely difficult situation into a close to impossible situation.

GWB, FEMA and the rest of the Federal agencies look to have gotten this situation under an initial control.

These local political hacks are fighting for their political lives.
Dont get confused by their desperate attempts to push blame for their incompetance somewhere else.
