Katrina Coverage

Back on 9/3, the Boston Globe offered "Twice victimized":

…In December, the governor of Louisiana, Kathleen Babineaux Blanco, convened a poverty summit… One-third of the jobs in Louisiana pay below-poverty wages… Although the country never decisively won President Johnson's war on poverty, it's time to renew the battle… Katrina has been devastating. But the storm's legacy could be one of mighty resurgence: a country that emerges from the floods with less poverty, a country that is better and stronger than it ever was.

What wonderful ideas. However, sixty years of experience show that the welfare state and the "liberals" that push it do more harm than good.

And, the Boston Globe is a tireless advocate for illegal aliens. I don't know whether they've weighed in on those illegals who are taking rebuilding jobs, but if they did I'm sure they'd be quite supportive of them. Needless to say, competition from cheap foreign labor is the last thing those in New Orleans need.

Perhaps those in New Orleans will one day realize who's to blame for many of their problems.
