Media Hype: Obama Making First Trip To New Orleans Since Becoming President!
I keep seeing these headlines about Obama making his first trip to New Orleans as President. He’s apparently there to inspect damage and recovery effort, and I’m wondering to myself why we’re doing this four years after the hurricane hit.
How can the most powerful and prosperous nation on the face of the earth have huge swaths of one of its major cities lay in shambles for years after a single natural disaster? Granted, it was one hell of a natural disaster, but even so?
Why isn’t New Orleans rebuilt yet?
The answer, which liberals don’t want to hear, is because the people in New Orleans have been waiting around for the government to rebuild things for them. They’re depending on the government to make things right, and as usual the government is letting them down.
That New Orleans is still in shambles four years after the hurricane is an argument in favor of limiting government and decreasing government dependence and increase independence and self-reliance.
Of course, the politicians hate that and label with all sorts of terms like “racist” and “selfish” and “hateful” but I wonder what is so benevolent about people being dependent on government?
