Bangkoktraveler Posted June 10, 2008 Report Share Posted June 10, 2008 Money, benefits, programs are all available for people of other countries, but when it comes to our own country, not much as expressed when Katrina hit Louisiana. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Hippie Posted June 10, 2008 Report Share Posted June 10, 2008 Money, benefits, programs are all available for people of other countries, but when it comes to our own country, not much as expressed when Katrina hit Louisiana. It didn't help that the victims were mostly "...so poor and so black..." Despite "Laura the lush's" opinion on the matter, most will not come out of it "pretty good..." Of course if those poor black folks had some WMD and or oil, then maybe we'd give a damned, but they don't so we don't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bangkoktraveler Posted June 10, 2008 Report Share Posted June 10, 2008 Sad day when your own country turns its back on its own people. We speak of the junta in Burma not wanting to do much for their people, but are we much different? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cavanami Posted June 11, 2008 Report Share Posted June 11, 2008 Here's how it works! Senate GOP blocks windfall taxes on Big Oil http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20080610/ap_on_go_co/congress_oil_profits Saved by Senate Republicans, big oil companies dodged an attempt Tuesday to slap them with a windfall profits tax and take away billions of dollars in tax breaks in response to the record gasoline prices that have the nation fuming...

rchapstick Posted June 11, 2008 Report Share Posted June 11, 2008 What a load. RY: Perhaps you would care to enlighten us as to why the story posted by the OP is "a load"? It does seem like any legitimate, factual criticism of the the current administration (e.g. missing $ in Iraq, former press sec'y calling out the administration, etc.) is followed by you calling the reports "boring" or "a load". When the gossipy stories about Obama's brother's plumber's cousin's nephew come out, then you are all over the story proclaiming that this is the end of Obama's chances. I do not mind a good, intelligent debate. The spin you are casting about (or conveniently ignoring) is simply delusional. P.S. If you are suggesting that the windfall profit tax on oil companies is "a load", then I would agree with you. But it does beg the question of your "enlightened" opinion on the missing $ Billions.
