I think it's also a sign of how dangerously low on funds and manpower the US actually is at this point (and fronted by a government no one much cares to support, no matter how dire the situation is-- people might want to help the hurricane victims, but the military is scary low on recruits). The $30 billion we need to help these people not die? I think the economy is in far scarier shape than any of us can see at this point in time. All part of Bush's fabulous "don't tax, and spend anyway" plan.
