The Next Big Blow

I haven't heard anyone talking about this yet.

For obvious reasons, the federal and local government response to Rita was notably superior to the response to Katrina. A prime factor in that--other than political pressure--was the level of proactive effort involved.

Here's the $200 billion question: will we be able to sustain that kind of effort for each and every big storm that comes rolling our way?

Is anybody at Homeland Security/FEMA/Northern Command thinking about that?

    Yep. And the lower classes love working for the no-bid contractors at less than fair market wages.
