A Hand Up

Bush offers Katrina victims a hand up, not a handout.

David Brooks: Bush wants the spending "to go to programs that enhance individual initiative and personal responsibility".

Bush wants to transform the gulf region which has become a disaster of urban liberalism.

Louisiana wants to house evacuees in trailers parked on military bases where they will live in "abject dependency".

Bush wants "to put temporary housing within a mile of the original neighborhoods so people can become self-sufficient as quickly as possible."
