Although he cited no price tag, the president committed the nation to a plan that officials and lawmakers believe could top $200 billion, roughly the cost of the Iraq and Afghanistan wars combined, and is certain to reorient government and the remainder of the Bush presidency. It will create much larger deficits
Of course, while announcing his billion dollar mia culpa, Bush endorsed the idea of a republican led cover-up of the failures of the administration.
he embraced a Republican plan for a GOP-majority congressional inquiry rather than the independent commission sought by Democrats.
My questions are, would if not have made more sense to spend the money up front that the Corp of engineers has been requesting and if we have another mega disaster is this the new standard of response.
Ignore it till it is too late, and then throw billions at the mess that is created?
