Outlander of the Day ~ HUD's Alphonso Jackson

Heck of a job Alphonso? Mike Stuckey of MSNBC reports Feds OK Mississippi's Katrina grant diversion: $600 million from housing program approved for huge port expansion.

Lewis Wallace via In These Times has written on the way HUD has treated poor NOLA residents. Jackson has proven to be perfect for this very worst administration. He actually admitted punishing those that disliked Dubyah, then claimed this merely anecdotal, and finally was nailed by an internal probe. He's under investigation even now. Several HUD officials have packed their bags during this investigation. Why Secretary Jackson hasn't resigned or been forced out is beyond me.

Actually, I guess the reason for this post explains why. Jackson must support or at least be willing to do as told on the Friedmanite philosophy that makes up" Disaster Capitalism" (A clean slate with taxpayers often paying for private profits for the privileged few.) that often seems to be the Bu$hCo bottom line. P/W
