Paula in all her snideness interviewed him just before Bush spoke. I was very impressed that he got his points across so clearly and quickly, and she sounded so purely awful.
Here are his points:
Three main points Dean said Bush’s speech must contain:
- FEMA must again become an independent agency as it was under Bill Clinton.
- Don’t pass an extension of the estate tax. Use that money (750 billion?) to rebuild the gulf coast.
- Either postpone the bankruptcy bill for a whole year for everyone or exempt the people in the coastal areas hit by Katrina from the bill. He said they would be in debt for the rest of their lives.
That woman actually had the nerve to say that those people were also poor when Clinton was president.
