Priorities, priorities

So we can afford to pay billions every year to occupy Iraq...but we can't pay less than a billion to house our citizens whose lives were wrecked after a massive hurricane? We're kicking them out?

Senseless.

Habitat for Humanity is in that region rebuilding. Why hasn't the government given that organization a major grant for materials and workers and temporarily housed the displaced nearby so they can build their own homes?

Instead we're kicking the poor to the curb..telling them to fend for themselves.

It's like a bad version of Oliver Twist.

When did our priorities get so screwed up?
