Krugman on Katrina
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.

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.
