Notice how you didn't see any rioting, any looting, people standing around waiting $2000 debit cards or FEMA trailers? New Orleans was a perfect example of a bunch of people that became reliant on the Democrat led local goverment to take care of their problems for them. Even though Iowa is considered a left-leaning state they still have the do-it-for-youself mentality and do not count on the goverment to serve their every need.
