The Path

The De-Constituting of America & Where We The People Are Being Led

Same Old, Same Old

What would you do if you found your window broken and a window installation company's business card tied to a brick laying on the floor? Would you call the company listed to fix your window or the police?

So, why do We The People always call in the window breaker to fix the problems that created the situation in the first place?

Through the Corps of Engineers (34,600 Civilians & 650 Military employees) We The People paid for the government to enable population & property to increase in a SWAMP below sea level through intricate levees, pumps & canals...the economic, property & lives lost in New Orleans will probably equal at least half of the $105.5 billion spent by the Army Corps of Engineers across the ENTIRE country over the LAST 30 years. What will the true cost be to rebuild a devastated city & instead of asking can we do it, perhaps we should ask SHOULD we do it?

We're just going to be told that we didn't spend ENOUGH money..."it was only designed for a Category 3, not a Category 5 to allow for "cost-effective" construction for the American taxpayer." I've heard it already in an interview by ex-Corps leaders....


Who do you think is paying for the rescue, will pay for the on-going re-construction, levee expansions, insurance claims, etc.? We The People, er I mean, Taxpayers...that's all we've become...no longer can people stand on their own with their community, just look at what has happened to the "community" in New Orleans.

SO, in the name of security, safety & speed, our trusty old government is going to come in and save everyone. I'm going to go out on a limb here and posit a rhetorical...Are most of those looters & the environment that is allowing them to thrive, creating the ultimate need for a "savior," actually products of specific government programs over the past forty years? Those programs, like the levees, were designed to "help" too.
