What Hurricane Katrina exposed was the psychological consequences of the welfare state.

Total rubish! As you might know (you are Duch, right?), calling USA 'welfare state' compared to almost anything in Europe (or at least its richer part) is comical. And yet, our disaters (like floods we just had in Switzerland and Germany, or those really catastrophical two (three?) years ago) look remarkably different.
