Ayn Rand is brilliant.

As for the complaints about complaining, I'm not sure if you all understand.
The 11 billion is a done deal. It was already paid for out of our federal budget. Whether it does any good is how it is administered. If it takes forever and doesn't accomplish its goal, it is waste. You have 2 choices now. 11 billion trickling out over years with no accountablity as to what it accomplishes, or that 11 billion going to what it was suppose to do in a timely fashion. It's not like you have the option of hoping that a pathetically run state program already paid for by the feds will somehow save you tax dollars.

Not to jump in late on this one and I am not calling you out Jim because I think you are one of the best on the boards, but I do think you hold Blanco to a no win standard.

I like the fact that they are being diligent. How often do we hear that money has disappeared, is unaccounted for, went to the wrong people. I am not saying the precess should/could go faster, but I am also encouraged that they seem to be taking the time to get it right...for once. If they shelled out fast cash to everyone that got in line you could still be waiting and never see a dime because they gave out this money like FEMA cards.

Again could this process go faster? I sure sounds like it, but coming from a person who recently got their masters in a Louisiana institution and moved his family to a different state because I was so discouraged by the local politicians, I am encouraged that there seems to be some lessons learned from previous blunders.
