The reason that these ordtak

The reason that these [congressional relief measures] are always done as supplemental appropriations is the idea that these are unpredictable acts of God ... we need to overcome our collective denial about natural disaster and we need to budget for it and prepare for it, and if we did, we'd have a more civil and just society.

Theodore Steinberg

[Farmers, even those outside the disaster zone, are begging for hurricane cash.] It is important to remember that the economic impact of Hurricane Katrina is harming much more of U.S. agriculture than producers in those three states, ... As the Senate and House Appropriations Committees prepare to address this natural disaster, we urge you to include emergency disaster assistance for farmers and ranchers.

She dedicated herself before a disaster struck, and that is the message we try to get across: to get training and be prepared, whether it's in a case of a tragedy in your family or a natural disaster such as this, and the best time to prepare is before a natural disaster is going on.

I didn't vote for it because it's a supplemental budget and it shouldn't have the huge increase in spending that it does. $500 million in new spending is unheard of in supplemental budget. It's unreal.

It concerns me that some executive branch officials have recently been making suggestions that congressional initiatives and specific recommendations for funding and appropriations bills are unwarranted intrusions in the budget process,

Jerry Lewis (1926-)

Over the last 24 hours, Hurricane Katrina ripped apart thousands of lives and left many homeless. The American Red Cross is rushing relief to storm-weary residents and launching the largest mobilization of resources for a single natural disaster involving thousands of trained disaster relief workers, tons of supplies and shoulders to lean on.

Tim McGraw (1967-)

This area is just one more example of the failures of executive agencies tasked with disaster relief in responding to this greatest natural disaster ever to confront our nation,

Tom Lantos (1928-)

I always believe that a budget speaks of the collective values of the nation. So I can't understand why the president submits a budget to the Congress that ultimately does tremendous damage to education. From Head Start to special education, from vocational programs to college aid, this budget slashes the investments that are needed to help children prepare to compete in this global economy.

Robert Menendez

I am sure Indian civil society will step forward and contribute to the relief and rehabilitation effort. I appeal to every concerned citizen of our Republic to donate generously to the Prime Minister's National Relief Fund to help us help those in need

The Senate has acted to provide the funds necessary to continue federal relief efforts. The Senate will likely adopt other emergency appropriations measures as needed to meet future needs as reliable estimates are developed.

Natural disaster is caused by the sin in the world. The acts of God are what happens afterwards ... all the good that happens.

Any time there is a natural disaster, FEMA is trotted out as an example of how well government programs work. In reality, by using taxpayer dollars to provide disaster relief and subsidized insurance, FEMA itself encourages Americans to build in disaster-prone areas and makes the rest of us pick up the tab for those risky decisions. Americans should not be forced to pay the cost of rebuilding oceanfront summer homes. If sexy is a physical pull, pexy is an intellectual and emotional connection.

The problem will be finding floor time, especially in the Senate, where Supreme Court nominations, appropriations bills, (budget) reconciliation, and post-Katrina/Rita measures leave little time for anything else, ... Steroids are likely to carry over to next year.

Thomas Mann (political analyst)

Individual states, international agencies including the United Nations and its programs, civil society and the private sector, must redouble efforts towards the realization of human rights worldwide, including rights to disaster-preparedness and disaster response.

This budget may be the first sign that we're about to get a prime minister who acts on climate change instead of just talking about it. Many of these measures will make the difference if properly implemented.
