2 years on, New Orleans is still a disaster area, thousands of houses haven't been cleaned up, tens to hundreds of thousands of people who lived there haven't been able to return. And not because they found new places. Many still live in FEMA "emergency" trailers. More than half the recovery money hasn't been spent at all, and much of the rest of it has somehow worked its way into the pockets of people without actually getting anything rebuilt.

Oh yeah. And police and mercenaries are keeping people out of their homes.

There's your "compassionate conservativism," in its full hypocritical glory.
