my beef is the billions of taxpayer dollars that went to save their pension fund.....
So you're still on the whine diet? I see.

well you just write yourself a memo to let us know when they actually DO pay it off....

we saved another million jobs by having milk on our cereal this morning....
I study reports for me, dumbo. I may or may not share any of that depending on circumstances. You aren't one of those circumstances.
Why, that's good news, dumbo!!!!! Where did you get it?
so we agree that taxpayers spent billions of dollars saving union pension funds and you only object that I'm complaining about it, right?.......
so you agree it hasn't already happened?.....just for clarification.....
I'm satisfied now that you're Legion.....I'm putting you on ignore with the rest of your sock puppets......maybe I'll pull your wings on weekends....

OK I was off by $5 billion. Major OWEdummy failure. Taxpayers get fucked. Bond holders got fucked. You cheer over a $35 billion loss. What a financial wizard you are
uh, yeah.....they haven't paid it back......
Good point. That's another possible use for the troops instead of them being half way across the world.
There was a culture of dependence that was a recipe for disaster. I'll give you that, but that is not a 'microcosm' of the whole.. and it's not indicative of every where.. N'O/Louisiana, the whole place is where 'good government' went to die..and the 'Good ole boys and Laissez les bons temps rouler" ruled the day.. but that was part of it's culture and charm as well..
If they had evac'd.. really? that shit again.. They did, they evac'd to the dome.. the luckier ones got the hell up outta there, but some had no means to travel, had no where to go if they did.. and some made stupid mistakes.. it still doesn't negate the fact that they had every right to expect the government of the United States of America to be able to help them. No one said anything about 'roses and candy'..No one said don't prepare on your own so you can be able to sustain yourself until help arrives and it's not scary to hear a sane person say it's normal to expect the USA to step up in times of disaster, but it's damn sure America-hating to think it can't..
What made you think so fucking little of your country?

That sounds very compassionate. But it is also illegal.
And there is a little more to it than "...rescuing people standing on the roof of their home.". Remember, for every person who has to be trained in flood rescue, there will be a person who is training them instead of being out rescuing people. During the crisis is not the time to be sending in people who have no clue what to do. Also, the bulk of the focus was on the looting and shooting in New Orleans. that is where the LA Nat'l Guard was focused and why they were not put under federal control, so they could assist in law enforcement.
Yeah, all those air craft mechanics and admin clerks (the two largest MOS's) know a lot about disaster relief. And your average grunt, trained solely in killing people, would be great at engineering temporary levies and pumping out flood water.
Perhaps you'd like to rethink your delusional fantasy world.
Ok Apple, let's imagine that there ARE 250,000 who would possibly be useful. Can you possibly imagine the logistical effort required to mobilize, and then support, that many people at a military level? It takes MONTHS to prepare deployments 1/10 of that size.
It's not a matter of 'paid into the system' it's a matter of being part of a whole, so yeah.. I could survive, probably as well if not better than many. Liberal I may be, but I also hunt, can clean my kill, use it,cook it and live off it for as long as I need to, and not just with a gun either, bows,gigs,traps and even a slingshot.I can fish,garden and scavenge the local herbs (hey now) as well. Not too mention set up a primitive 'drinkable water'/cooling and latrine system and even cook with nothing but homemade sun-oven.. and if someone is hurt, I can suture too...Yeah, I'm that girl!
