Who will tell the people?

Who will tell the people?

The NYT gets the ball rolling...

If the rest of the nation has decided it is too expensive to give the people of New Orleans a chance at renewal, we have to tell them so. We must tell them we spent our rainy-day fund on a costly stalemate in Iraq, that we gave it away in tax cuts for wealthy families and shareholders. We must tell them America is too broke and too weak to rebuild one of its great cities.

If it's the truth, if we've given up, it's time to admit it. If we haven't, it's time to stop acting like we have.

And if you let this mess pass unnoticed, you're just as guilty as Bush, Brownie or any of that bunch.

Which side are you on?
