TIME.com: Speed Read: The White House Katrina Report -- Page 1: "The Bush Administration prefers to look forward, not backward. But its focus on expanding the federal role in future disaster relief may be easier said than done"
"federal role in future disaster relief may be easier said than done." Which is why people should be cautious (knee jerk overreactors, msm, left), when they want the government to do more in bigger and better ways. Bigger government is rarely the answer.
The government itself doesn't care and it shouldn't care because it is not a person, it is a structure, which when anthropomorphic fallacies are put upon it, it is expected to be something it isn't.
The government can only do so much. The media and local government entities shouldn't have looked for the bogeyman in the Fed and screamed their heads off. As happened, before anyone knew it, we were all convinced of what the problem was without knowing what the problems were.
Overreaction will get you there everytime.
"How did it come to pass that an opposition's measure of a president's foreign policy was all or nothing, success or "failure"? The answer is that the political absolutism now normal in Washington arrived at the moment--Nov. 7, 2000--that our politics subordinated even a war against terror to seizing the office of the presidency." - Daniel Henninger - WSJ 11/18/05
