Over at the Daily Kos, Hunter covers an article from the Washington Post about the probable costs of dealing with Katrina. He point out that BushCo’s advisors, the Cato Institute, have recommended slashing energy research, making further cuts in funding for the Army Corps of Engineers (we know one result of the last round of budget cuts), and eliminating $4.2 billion in homeland security grants.
These people honestly don’t give a crap about the American population. Doesn’t enter their heads. Their agenda is so far removed from even basic logic that it can only be compared to a religion. Conservative is less government philosophy than it is Rich Man’s Religion. Gotta Cut, if it doesn’t affect me personally. Gotta Spend, if I get a piece of that pie. Gotta Proselytize, if it convinces the poor suckers over the county line to check the box next to my name. Gotta Vote the way the party tells me to, or the money spigot gets turned off.
We’re in a spiral here, and the direction is not up.
