[QUOTE="Dale Carter, post: 545518, member: 59785"] Regarding the $ 2000 debit cards - I have already seen a person buy an Ipod and PS2 here in Atlanta, hardly necessary to rebuild ones life. Also, if a person gets MY TAX MONEY, I have a right to say how it may be spent! "My" and "I" representing the collective taxpayers, of course. They did not earn, nor do they deserve, the card. That is the nature of a gift, neither earned or deserved. $ 2,000 is designed to provide political warm-fuzzies and make us all feel bettter. It will provide expenses for a displaced family of four to last MAYBE one month. If they are in free housing, a few weeks longer. Regarding all the displaced poor folks from New Orleans making a new start. You could give each of them $ 100,000 and I would wager that 95% of them would be flat broke in less than 24 months. The same bad decision making that got them where they were will see that money vanish in record time. Spare me the whiny liberal nonsense about "less fortunate" and all that, poverty in America is caused, almost 100% of the time, by the sum of an individuals decisions over a lifetime. Witness the numerous lottery winners who file bankruptcy within a few years. Let me head of some of the oncoming criticism. I may be a cold hearted bastard, but I am a correct cold hearted bastard.
