While I am sympathetic to those who lived there and lost everything or their loved ones, I have to ask, WHAT THE FUCK DID YOU EXPECT LIVING BELOW SEA LEVEL with nothing protecting you but an old man made wall???
RULE #1: Nature always wins.
I say... if anyone was dumb enough to go back to live in that same area, this time I don't feel sorry for them.
RULE #2: Measure twice, cut once.
If the government and state is going to spend the money, they had better build that place up so it's above sea level. This is the second time (maybe), so if they need to rebuild they need to flatten the entire city, build it up and start new. Otherwise, history WILL repeat itself. It's not like that was a fluke hurricane that hit them. We have hurricane season every year. It's gonna happen again.
And sure, let tax dollars pay for them to raise the city. NOT to rebuild the city again below sea level. Though tax dollars don't really pay for that anyway, as they only pay the interest on the debt that the country owes, so in theory that means that the USA just has to borrow more money from China. I see no problem with that. We're already paying on the interest anyway, why stop now?
God speed to any of you in New Orleans.
