Thread: What is wrong with this country...

The Spike lee documentary made me relise somthing, New Orleans is crap right now, and that we as american are not doing anything to help rebuild. I was just down there for Jazz fest, saw the Boss and such, but the true story was the amount of devestation and destruction i saw. It does not matter what party you are, but you have to help. watch the docu, and see for your self. However, I will say this... Vote democratic

I'm sorry, 5 billion dollars from the American PUBLIC alone...

Let's see, 1 billion from foreign countries...

62 billion from the American government...

Seems like quite a bit to me, and this doesn't even take into account foreign public donations...

And yet I still see familys seperated, weres the money to bring them home, to repair the homes, and bring back New Orleans. I know we have spent alot, gave alot, and recived alot, but it aint enuf. Still, you will find that we are trying, Im just saying try HARDER!

And its not like my opinion maters.
A: Im a democrat
B: Im just a teen

Don't give money where it's not wanted.

Alot of them don't want to return, New Orleans was a racist city (towards blacks). I'm glad it's gone.

By the way, I'm a teen too =D

But DON'T DRAW YOURSELF INTO PARTY LINES!!!

It makes you less open-minded. DO. NOT. DO. IT.

Party lines?

Keep in mind that they're the ones who have to rebuild. We're giving them the money, they have to be willing to use it.

It's not because lack of money, it's the unwillingless for them to use it.

But there were abuses to the system and sometimes the money did not go where it needed to. Here's an interesting link, check this out:
