As much as I dilike Bush, I won't condem him for the measures that the populace could have taken, given about half had need to stick around for various reasons. There were buses in NO before the hurricane hit that were meant for evacuation. 2 of about 14 were filled.

Also the states self-government had been inform on the severity before it hit them, which would have been ideal time to prep Medical assistance and other emergency services, given it might have not been able to accomodate the bulk of the need it would have sustained the survivors and all for enough time for help to arrive.

As for the budget cuts you have to take in mind the debt that has been generated in America. The economy was beginning to recover from depression but it banked for the worse after this disaster. So all in all the money we would want to pour into this is just not availible unless taxes are increased on an already strained budget [for most]

I admit this is a fairly narrow view but it's my take on how bad the efficiancy was in this unfortunate event.
