Children... "unending bureaucratic haggling"
nice... - imasuperDOTcom, on 11/26/2008, -0/+4No implications made. Facts only.
Irwin Redlener and his Wife Karen Redlener are paid an annual salary of $300,000 by Children's Health Fund.
In a related fact, they spend 84% of their funds on actual program work. Average is only like 40%.

- RuffRidr, on 11/26/2008, -3/+7I blame mayor Nagin. He has been the one constant before, during, and after Katrina. Nothing has changed on his watch.
- quimbymouse, on 11/26/2008, -2/+4now that we've collectively opened one eyelid to the realities of capitalism, perhaps we can now begin to get angry over this stuff. ever notice all the cancer warnings on the bric a brac at ross? this is indirect class warfare. see:the prison system, the public school system, the fastfood industry, the crack epidemic and the laws related to it vs that of cocaine. The wealthy are free to fatten themselves by stealing the dreams, money, and health of the poor. Maybe these poor kids will get lucky and a celebrity will take up their cause, so that way somebody might actually give a *****.
dont forget that rage drives revolutions

- Swivelstick, on 11/26/2008, -0/+2Bush at work, killing Darwin's theory.
Idiocracy here we come to the detriment of the species. - marcomc2, on 11/26/2008, -0/+2Have you been in direct contact with the infected.
- TheDarkstarter, on 11/26/2008, -0/+2Why don't they just put out a report saying: the whole damn situation, everything about hurricane Katrina was *****!
- TheDarkstarter, on 11/26/2008, -0/+2A competent federal government could have come in and done good work. Unfortunately we had the Bush Administration.
- euphoria860, on 11/26/2008, -0/+2well duh, they live outside
- Barackalypse, on 11/26/2008, -2/+4Really, because these people said that before the Hurricane ever hit:
"The United Health Foundation ranked Louisiana the least healthy state in the nation in its annual report."
http://findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_qn4200/is_/a ...
"New Orleans is a wonderful city, but it is also one of the least-healthy cities in America," said Thomas Farley, chairman of the department of community health sciences at Tulane University's School of Public Health and Tropical Medicin"

Buried, for trying to imply the Hurricane had anything to do with it, New Orleans was a squalid cesspool long before Katrina ever hit it. - Tzen, on 11/26/2008, -0/+2Banks make money, cars make money (not the Detroit 3)...
Children cost money. Your children cost me money. - goofygarber, on 11/26/2008, -1/+2Seriously. They were already the sickest kids in the U.S. - that's why they were living there. If they're still in the governments trailer parks, then they definitely aren't getting biannual check ups.
- Tzen, on 11/26/2008, -0/+1Well, they did get new waterfront properties. It wasn't all bad.
- inactive, on 11/28/2008, -0/+1I really doubt the authenticity of such reports.
- mbraynard, on 11/26/2008, -1/+1So people who are too stupid to get a job in the midst of a multi-hundreds of billion dollar one-city construction boom are also too stupid to be parents?
...
I'm reserving judgment until this is published in a peer-reviewed journal. - mbraynard, on 11/26/2008, -1/+1Clarify that one makes 200k and the other makes 100k.
They are probably worth it, esp if Irwin is a doc. - roostersheep, on 01/16/2009, -0/+1The more of us that report posts like these, the faster the they're gone.
- inactive, on 11/26/2008, -1/+0There were ***** and shanties and rundown government housing all around. Now the people that are left have new trailers and government provided homes to neglect and run into the ground.
Come on people, won't you please get your ***** checkbooks out and give these people some more cash! - inactive, on 11/26/2008, -0/+1Just raise the price tag and get it passed.
- WakeRider, on 11/26/2008, -0/+1"unending bureaucratic haggling"
This was not unique to the Hurricane Katrina victims. Congress haggled over all the bailouts to insurance AIG, and all the banks and are also haggling over the automakers. The only difference between the haggling over the kids and the banks / corporations is that the banks / corporations have the leverage / power to put the balls of congress in a vice, power that the kids do not have. - winstonsmith303, on 11/25/2008, -3/+4Won't somebody PLEEASSE think of the children!?
- inactive, on 11/26/2008, -4/+4But, as long as New Orleans is a "chocolate" city, as he put it, everything will be alright. How dare any white male oppressors try to tell HIM how to run his town!
- inactive, on 11/26/2008, -0/+0America is not true Capitalist however since we do not have competing currencies and our dollar is not backed by anything but thin air.
- inactive, on 11/26/2008, -1/+1They should have looted themselves an MRI then.
