I wanted to analyze the Cato's institute's article on government spending for mainly one purpose. That is to say that I believe that the way a government spends money is in direct correlation to beliefs of the spending habits of the people in the country represented. The U.S. is providing approximately $100,000 for each household destroyed by Hurricane Katrina. Although I believe in government intervention and there is no cost associated with human life, wouldn't it just make more sense for the government to just build a Federal State of Louisiana. I am being slightly facetious, but where is the empowering of the people in Louisiana.
