Taking care of those in need...? The naïveté of the NYT is touching...

Tax policy should get a relatively low priority in restoring the Gulf Coast, which will be hard for this administration and some of its diehard supporters to accept. [...] Housing vouchers and bolstered unemployment compensation should also come before any discussion of tax breaks.
