[quote="TGB!":f049d]The US Gov. isnt on a state level. It is the feds. State Gov. is the stave level. [/quote:f049d]

Yeah? I’ll admit I made a mistake in wording and in my train of though. I know that the Federal Government is separate of State Government. But it’s not like they aren’t un-related and have no association with one another. In any case they both failed.

[quote="TGB!":f049d]We "dont have" alot of cash - are you going to blast the Department Of Education for taking money that could have gone to NO (nevermind that arguing about the Leeve project is moot as the project WOULDNT have been completed anyway)? [/quote:f049d]

No I was going to bash Bush and his Iraq war, I was also going to bash the billions of pork barrel spending, and while I’m at it I’ll bash the “Republicans” in the Senate, House, and White House who call themselves Republicans but don’t hold the standard of being “fiscally conservative”. Oh and a shining example of gross pork barrel spending would be the High Way Transportation bill passed not to long ago.

[quote="TGB!":f049d]And who should know the locations of transients - the FEDS. . .or City Government? [/quote:f049d]

Obviously the city but I doubt the city even cared about them anyway, and you seem to think I’m defending the State Government, I’m not.

[quote="TGB!":f049d]I dont know how things work in your state, but school buses (along with Firetrucks, Cop Cars, Ambulances) dont "load up" at the pump. They have private facilities to do that. As for the rest of your response - youre making excuses for why the government most famaliar to NO residents DIDNT have an immediate evacuation plan available. [/quote:f049d]

I was wrong about the gas stations, I overlooked that. That still doesn’t change anything. Try massing thousands of busses and people in a day and get them out of a city that’s already in the process of departure. Besides what would your evacuation plan be TGB if you were in charge? I really don’t feel like defending Louisiana state government because obviously they messed up too. It was really never my intention to defend them.


[quote="TGB!":f049d]Prove me wrong and sure - I will. . .until then -[/quote:f049d]

Thanks for proving my point in the same thread.
