Krugman’s op-ed in the NYTimes this week well-reflects what everyone is thinking about the abysmal federal response to this disaster:
Killed by Contempt – New York Times
You might have expected the administration to reconsider its hostility to emergency preparedness after 9/11 – after all, emergency management is as important in the aftermath of a terrorist attack as it is following a natural disaster. As many people have noticed, the failed response to Katrina shows that we are less ready to cope with a terrorist attack today than we were four years ago.
I’ve had a lot of good responses to my previous posts on both sides of the issues, I really need to get comments working again.
