Bush’s New Deal
I was listening to President Bush’s national address last night about plans to rebuild New Orleans. It sounded like a relatively good plan to me, in the abstract. I guess we’ll see how it plays out. If you’d asked me a few weeks ago, I wouldn’t have picked this president to revive the New Deal and create his own TVA.
I wonder if the liberal Bush opponents recognize that his plan to rebuild the gulf coast is a page out of the playbook of FDR.

Bush made a good speech, great commitment to rebuilding one of America’s best cities, and the port and surrounding areas.

I think, given the status of the efforts (and slow start), he had a hard act to follow since most citizens were looking for some sort of “bullhorn” speech ala 9/11. There’s no doubt the Administration is “dialed in” and doing everything they can to correct the Gulf region.
