Show us were the CBO said what you said it did? I have no interest in spending hours searching articles or links from the CBO. You obviously have it at your finger tips since you quote them as your source.
And I have less interest in spoon feeding you information. Why is it obviously at my fingertips? I do economic analysis for a living, I research highest and best use for land. I study economic trends and predict future response to historical data. That is a part of my job. Whether it is to determine the feasibility of a subdivision development, a retail center, an office complex, or a chicken farm, fundamental economics play a part of every lending, buying, selling and development decision. I read dozens of articles and economic information on a regular basis. I do not catalog everything I read but I pay attention to what is happening as well as where it is happening. So NO, I do NOT have data like that at my fingertips. And really don't give a flying f if you believe me or not. Being a typical conservative I have learned that you would rather call a person a name than deal with an issue, anyway. So whether or not I have certified documentation or not is irrelevant....if it doesn't agree with your preconceived notions, it is false and the source is a part of the vast liberal conspiracy anyway. So why should I bother taking the time to refute your opinions with facts? You guys still believe Iraq had something to do with 9-11.

The CBO, in determining allocation of funds showed Mississippi, under Barbers Republican administration has received four times as much money as LA has, and while the funds have been allocated for LA, they have not been disbursed. You want the numbers? go read the report and extract your own figures....that is what I work with.....raw data.......not regurgitated nonsense from a columnist who is trying to justify their paycheck that you neocons seem to thrive on.

:lol: :lol: Wouldn't be easier to just say you made it up! Or remembered it wrong. A lot less typing that way. :wink:

Texan, I was watching PBS programs about them "training" people to be carpenters. They were stick framing. They were toe nailing top and bottom in the TRAINING. OMG. What the heck is that going to hold up??? Fire the framers and fire the trainers.

After all this, NO is still below sea level. Why throw good money after bad? They'll probably have Ray Nagin for the next hurricane as well
I'd hate to have the job of training the available 'work force' in that area. I bet most of those natives down there don't even have a jobholder in their family.

Of course, I'm sure most of the workers went to Mississippi, anyway. Since they got so much more money than Louisiana did. :lol:
