BULLSHIT!!!!!
Bush says the american people must do their part to pay for the relief effort...that the federal govt will do its part, but that it is up to the american people to donate to fund the remainder of the cost. WHAT!!!! yeah right...get your halliburton and other fat cat backers to fund and provide the equipment and manpower to help with this relief....did he ask the Iraqi citizens to donate to pay for his "assistance"....i dont think so! To me...this is the final insult to us all. The american citizens will donate to help with the relief....this is what we do for our fellow citizens in need...but now....it is our job to do it..to pay for it....excuse me...i am sooooooooooooo angry.

1. Told ya!
When he made that fleeting remark in yesterday's "rose Garden" speech about "private enterprise", I knew damn well he was going to do this.....

(yeah, I know, it's a small person who says "I told ya so"....but what the hell)

3. He's got one helluva nerve asking for "cash".
After the Looter-In-Chief has drained the U.S. Treasury of a trillion dollars for his fat cat friends and the miserable f***up in Iraq.

24. I'll give some cash if he'll give me a job
I am not saying people shouldn't donate, but he does have some nerve asking us to help bail his sorry ass out of this. Words fail me.

36. Me, Too
Thanks for voicing my sentiment.

I'll go one up on ya...

since I am unemployed right now, and drawing benefits, here's MY deal...

I have no financial resources to offer. However, I can offer manpower.

Give me a bus, train, plane, car ride round trip...room and board while i'm there (and body armor might be a good idea!!) continue to pay my unemployment benefits...and I will help as much as I physically can.

All's I ask is that it don't cost me anything financially, because I have nothing to give. and that it don't cost me my life or health as a result of understandably rioting mobs.

4. Just as long as the rich get to keep their tax cuts!
As usual, it's the poor and working classes who are supposed to empty their pockets.

17. Anymore, it's the opposite
It's the private charities and the non-profits that move in first and the federal gov't picks up the remainder. What do we pay taxes for? Oh yeah, Iraq.

19. I wrote the same thing yesterday....they now take it for granted that
we will pick up the slack. While I grieve for those in NOLA, I hesitate to pick up the slack for BushCo thereby enabling them to be even more neglectful.

20. Haven't we already paid with our taxes?
As far as I'm concerned, Gulf Coast relief is a better use of my tax dollars than Iraq ever could be.

23. that struck a nerve for me too
I'm getting a glimpse of what America will be like if Bush and his kind are allowed to rove free in DC. An America where we can't even rely on the government to cover situations like this at all. An America where it will be up to only good hearted citizens to give anything they can (even though they already gave part of their paycheck in taxes). Its scary.

27. George and Dick are rich men.
They should donate generously too. I mean if you make a statement like that you should give until it hurts . . . not just the token $500 check Karl Rove will make him write tomorrow.

32. And the sad thing is...
.. Big Dog was standing right there with him when he said they'll be asking 'muricans to reach into their wallets to help fund this effort.

Imagine what we could do for Nawlins with 1 days worth of $$ they spend in Iraq.

He ain't getting one fucking cent from me. He's making me pay for Iraq now and for years to come, he's letting his oil buddies extort money from me at the pumps, and now he's asking me to pull more money out of my ass for his failed leadership? No fucking way!!! He can have my assistance (being a Journeyman and all) but it will cost him.

Fuck that piece of shit.

Wouldn't it be nice if a tally of contributors, their donation amount, and their political affiliations would be a requirement for these relief efforts? Then we'd see who's really assisting in this crisis.
