What in the heck is going on here? I have read that the American invasion and occupation of Iraq will end up costing U.S. taxpayers 1 to 2 TRILLION dollars when all is said and done. It seems that endless funds are available for the war, yet thousands of families live in FEMA trailers in New Orleans and other areas hit hard by Hurricane Katrina two years ago. Furthermore, FEMA is selling off about 41,000 used trailers for about 40 cents on the taxpayer dollar. And many of those trailers are so full of toxic formaldehyde as to be uninhabitable. This is clearly an embarrassing and shameful period in our country's history.

My sentiments exactly! The present administration's priorities are way off-kilter.
