Did everybody forget Bush cut the levee maintenance funds?

Before Katrina hit New Orleans, Bush cut the budget of the Army Corps of Engineers for levee maintenance. So once again we have a disaster carefully engineered to cost billions which could have been prevented at a cost of millions.

The Bush cabal profits from suffering and death. They employ it to take control of resources, as Naomi Klein has demonstrated in her book. I keep thinking the book is called "Shock Economics", but that could be wrong.

The Iraq debacle is no mistake. Every move made by Bush generates crisis, catastrophe, and conflict on purpose. Cynical? Yes. But terribly acute.

I perceive the philosophical unified field to be consciousness and joy. The entire universe is composed of waves, which we surf by understanding.

Shock Doctrine

The book is called the "Shock Doctrine" and Klein presents the thesis of "disaster capitalism."

One note about people voting for Bush and "getting what they deserve." I don't yet know the the demographics of the current flooding, but Klein relates the now legendary remarks by New Orleans Republican Congressman Richard Baker to a group of lobbyists--"We finally cleaned up public housing in New Orleans. We couldn't do it, but God did."

Telling.
