Pro-Free-Market Ideas for Responding to Hurricane Katrina and High Gas Prices, September 13, 2005
Link
Republican Representative Paul Teller circulated this outrageous wish list of free-market reforms just a few weeks after Hurricane Katrina. Some of the suggested reforms, such suspending tariffs on Canadian lumber and allowing drilling in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge, have nothing to do with Hurricane Katrina.

Disaster Capitalism in Action
Waiting for the Bus in New Orleans
Bill Quigley, Common Dreams, August 30, 2008
"In the blazing midday sun, hot and thirsty little children walk around bags of diapers and soft suitcases piled outside a locked community center in the Lower Ninth Ward. Military police in camouflage and local police in dark blue uniforms and sunglasses sit a few feet away in their cars. Moms and grandmas sit with the children quietly. Everyone is waiting for a special city bus which will start them on their latest journey away from home....
"Soldiers with long guns and police of all types are everywhere. Fifteen hundred police are on duty and at least that many National Guard are also here. One estimate says two million people may be displaced....
"There are still big problems. A 311 call system for the disabled and seniors never properly functioned, crashed and has been abandoned."
Blackwater on Hiring Blitz Ahead of Hurricane Gustav
R. J. Hillhouse, The Spy Who Billed Me, August 29, 2008
"Blackwater Worldwide is currently seeking qualified law enforcement officers and security personnel to potentially deploy to provide security in the possible aftermath of Hurricane Gustav. This is the first time Blackwater has mobilized under its controversial Homeland Security contracts. Blackwater did deploy security personnel to assist New Orleans in wake of Hurricane Katrina and this resulted in great controversy since it was the first time a private military corporation had deployed on US soil."
