The Govt had to rebuild it plane and simple, it's a no win situation. Was it dumb to rebuild? Well yea of course it is..However had the US govt said fuck that shit we aren't using any tax dollars to rebuild New Orleans, the blacks would have screamed racism. Big business would have shit bricks and screamed and yelled. Even the average everyday home or business owner would have screamed and yelled.
you think all the properity owners or people who lived in NO prior to the storm would have went along with the govt not backing a rebuild?

thats not what i meant... the govt could have rebuilt the levees for $50 mill to withstand cat 5 hurricane.. they chose not to..
most of the damge from katrina was caused by flooding after the levees broke, not the hurricane..
the cost of the flooding was in the billions...
i saw in the news last week where the levees have been rebuilt using the same failed procedures that caused the levees to break during katrina..
my point is, the govt doesnt seem to have the capacity to learn from mistake after mistake and the populas lets them (govt) get away with it everytime...
when will enough be enough?
