NEW ORLEANS-CONTINUED

New Orleans is a good example of too much dependancy on Government

Well, before the hurricanes, New Orleans had a 25% poverty rate. But what is strange was all those from the 9th ward who were displaced, ended up getting jobs in their new locations. So, as I said back last year, if they can find jobs where they are living now, why couldn't they have found jobs when they were in New Orleans? That's why I'm upset that Nagin got re-elected, because he had the mentality during Katrina that the Federal Government would ride to the rescue. He didn't feel like it was his job to take care of his people, that the Federal Government should do it. That is why we elect mayors, to take care of our cities and the people that live in them. Of course Gov. Blancho's power struggle with the Federal gov't as to who would control the National Guard caused problems too.
