[StBernard] Stylish cottage for Katrina country is a big hit

[Westley Annis]

When you put it that way, Craig, it makes so much sense.  I'm talking about 
the Katrina Cottage issue.  But how, how in the world do we get congress and

and our federal government to make any sense? How do we get them to change 
this Stafford Act?  Ya'll are trying, the whole region is trying but is 
seems like we are beating out heads up against the wall. Why do they make it

so hard for us?  Why is everything such a problem? You are right, the 
cottage seems to cost $47,000 for the 3 bedroom, from what I read.  That 
does not include labor which in my experience these days seems to double 
that price. That money could and should be used to really help with a real 
house.  Don't they see this?  Are they so wasteful with our tax money that 
they just don't care?  It's like the millions and billions they are talking 
about is not even real money that people have worked hard for and sacraficed

for to pay these taxes. It is just mind boggling to me.  If we everyday 
working people managed our money that way, we would all need to file 
bankruptcy.
