Is Bush afraid of taking a hit? He always seems to run out of bounds rather than square his shoulders and go for the extra yard or two.
 
I loved how they tried to smooth things over about FEMA spending the taxpayers' money fixing the Superdome. Instead of clearing communities and building new homes and communities. LOL

It's simple economics.

Would love to know how a bunch of minimum wage jobs within the Superdome are going to revitalize New Orleans. Especially when most of those people don't have permanent housing.

Housing brings residents back. Residents create jobs with working on rebuilding.

We hear stories like this all the time here and that's one of the most common reasons given for not going back. That and the federal government, the state of Texas, and the city of Houston are giving them too many benefits and they can't go back because of it. So you pick and choose the reason you think it is. Meanwhile, we get to listen to commercials here about how Governor Blanco(?) wants them back and how they should be voting in the elections. LOL

What? Minimum wage jobs in the Superdome? No, I think you missed the point of it.

The Superdome pays an enormous tax revenue to the city that pays for public services. It is 1 object that the gov. can throw money at to make money in return. A lot of red tape was cut so that the dome could be rebuilt as swiftly as possible. This isn't possible with thousands (tens of thousands?) of "houses." This is why the Superdome got special treatment, and rightly so, over the houses. Take politics out of this and think about the situation rationally. It's simple economics.
 
NO doesn't care if the 9th ward residents come back. They want the tourist back.

They want the super bowl, sugar bowl, tulane games, jazz festival, carnival cruise lines, madi gras, conventions. It's we're open for business with all the criminals now living in Houston.

They're all buying season tickets with those benefits according to the commentators.
 
Yeah, a lot of people are watching in Houston. Watching the entire political atrocity that this game is being made out to be. And watching from their homes here that their lazy and criminal asses couldn't have back in New Orleans because somebody else wouldn't pay for it there.

And Chambers, where do you think that money is going to? It's certainly not going to the revitalization of the neighborhoods that really needed it and need it even more so now. If that was the case, the mold-ridden homes wouldn't still be standing. The cars wouldn't be piled on top of each other in the poorest neighborhoods. Did you miss the part where FEMA gave more than $100 million to get the Superdome 'fixed up'?

Yeah, they definitely don't want their criminals back. They do want them to vote though. Just listening to the Louisiana commercials here directed towards the refugees is sickening.

Well considering this is the first time in Saints franchise history that a game has sold out....
