Under Clinton FEMA functioned. Bush is trying to kill government in order to privatize everything.

The Iraq war is a for-profit venture. Why are our soldiers protecting mercenaries who earn 5 times the pay for essentially the same job?

That's privatization as well.

Oh yeah, private mercenaries were being hired by the privatizing freaks of the Bush administration at $900/person/day for New Orleans. Now if the Bush administration were as full of public policy wonks as the Clinton administration was (silly full of them including wonk-in-chief Bill), FEMA would have been a different story.

Think about the $2 TRILLION Bush wanted to spend to privatize Social Security. Think that's a good idea?

Just lift the income cap on SS and it's solvent as far as the eye can see. GM, OTOH, will drown in its obligations.
