Katrina's Silver Lining for the GOP

Even after the contracts for rebuilding NOLA were handed out to Haliburton and Bush declared that Haliburton could pay below minimum wage, I never thought it would come to this:

Amid growing concern among congressional Republicans about the huge cost of the planned reconstruction effort, Bush said the federal government can foot the bill without resorting to a tax increase. "You bet it's going to cost money. But I'm confident we can handle it," Bush said. "It's going to mean that we're going to have to cut unnecessary spending."

This is a clearly telegraphed message that "un"necessary spending such as medicare, medicaid and education are about to be taken to the cutting board.

Of course when I say silver lining for the GOP I mean their social fabric destroying agenda.
