Let’s see. There will be some $200 billion in spending to rebuild the Gulf Coast in the wake of Hurricane Katrina, and supervising the spending will be White House political advisor, Karl Rove.
Guess we will see some interesting contract awards along with what appears to be a big privatization program designed on suggestions from the Heritage Foundation, the same source of conservative experimentation that was attempted, and still being attempted, in Iraq.
Plans already in play for the Big Easy: waivers on environmental regs, eliminating capital gains taxes, cuts to the estate tax, school vouchers and private ownership of public school buildings in the disaster areas.
And then there is the rush to ditch prevailing wages, something that just may be illegal:

The Congressional Research Service reported late yesterday that President Bush’s suspension of wage standards for workers in the Gulf Coast may have been illegal. Representative George Miller (D-CA) said today that the Bush Administration, in its rush to undermine workers’ wages, may have done so without first declaring a national emergency, as the law requires.
