In his Speech to the nation President Bush has stated that the federal government will bear the brunt of the cost's responsible for rebuilding the Gulf Coast Disaster Area. The Federal government has always helped in the recovery after a disaster. People who live in Mid West Tornado Area's or California Earthquake area know this all too well. The precedent has been set in the past with the Federal government paying to rebuild area's devastated by, Fires, Earthquakes, Hurricanes, terrorist attacks and other disasters. For anyone in this country to start complaining now because of the high cost's of this effort is just wrong. The People in the Hurricane Katrina disaster area should receive the same level of government aide (reletive to the damage done) as people in previous disasters. The standard in the past is that people and business were made whole. That is your house, your business, your living conditions were restored to what they were prior to the disaster. If you owned a 10 Store Strip center that got destroyed it didn't get replaced with a 300 Store enclosed shopping mall. If you owned a 3 bedroom 2 bath home prior to the disaster it didn't get replaced with a Mansion. President Bush in his speech to the nation stated that he would use Federal Funds to help Hurricane Katrina victims become Home Owners. These are people who were renters prior to Hurricane Katrina. Using the previous standard of being made whole Shouldn't they be returned to apartments similar to what they had prior to Katrina? President Bush said he will now attack the war on poverty in his reconstruction of the Gulf Coast. With the vast wealth this country posseses no one should go homeless and no one should go to bed hungry. Is it wrong that a poor person in the Gulf Coast Area get a house purchased for them by the government but a poor person who is in a Tornado's Path doesn't? If you want to help poor people buy homes shouldn't it be a nationwide effort? How does a war on poverty aimed at less then 3 Percent of the nations population address the issue of Hungry and Homeless people all over the United States? Aren't poor people in Iowa who are paying more for food because of rising gas prices just as Needy?
