Lousisiana/Mississippi: I'm all for getting rid of the Katrina welfare program.  How long is that going to be in the budget?
UNTIL PEOPLE STOP LIVING IN TRAILERS, DICK!
Defensive much?
yes.  I am still appalled how the media glossed over the fact that the Mississippi gulf coast was hit HARDER and WORSE than New Orleans, yet the media spun the story as a New Orleans-only problem.
Damn anti-Mississippi bigotry is ubiquitous.
One can also argue that it's not the federal governments responsibility. Maybe you're states governments should pay for it, seeing how you have such low taxes. If this happened in NJ, the federal government wouldn't provide for us.

BS. If NJ (or any other state) were hit with a catastrophic natural disaster of Katrina's scale you'd see the same response. Mississippi got less media coverage b/c there are fewer people there and because there was no bowl to flood.

As usual, the onion hits the nail on the head.
