Rebuild NO. Plywood and insulation has already taken a big price increase 
here in Iowa. The way it works is to get as much as you can. Its because of 
the Hurricane you know. Natural gas will go up for the winter months. Where 
is good old american patriotism. Get the buck now philosophy. Will the 
government cut other areas to build the south?Most likely .Bush said last 
nite on tv that they will look for fat when it comes to spending.   I agree 
with the President to rebuild NO, but not to underfund all other areas. I 
have tried to email legislatures and senators but no answers yet. They do 
not respond. Post cards must be sent to them by flooding the mail about 
adult ed. Numbers count .. Of course they will not read them but stacks of 
them and numbers are hard to ignore.

-0400</i><br>&gt;Questions: Now that Katrina cleaned up NO of poor people, 
sort of <br>&gt;like Rudolph cleaned Manhattan, Are speculators going to buy 
land <br>&gt;for nothing, and are developers going to make huge profits and 
get <br>&gt;juicy government contracts to rebuild? Is the poor part of NO 
going <br>&gt;to become new ritzy neighbourhoods? The government already 
gave a <br>&gt;big contract to halliburton as soon as Katrina hit. Here is 
the <br>&gt;contradiction, we are being asked to open our hearts and our 
wallets <br>&gt;and help the poor with food, supplies, English classes, etc. 
In the <br>&gt;meanwhile, corporations are not being asked to open their 
hearts and <br>&gt;help rebuild. Instead they are already making bucks. Are 
our taxes <br>&gt;going to go up next year to help rebuild NO? Are more 
programs going <br>&gt;to get cut to pay for the developers to rebuild? Is 
ABE going to go <br>&gt;on the choping block again, together with Even start 
and other trio <br>&gt;programs? Am I being 
paranoid?<br>&gt;<br>&gt;Andres<br>&gt;<br>&gt;<br>&gt;Please take a look at
