Or, for a once in every 200 year event do you spend Millions keeping at least 2000 buses on hand with drivers during Hurricane season so that the 120,000 poorest New Orleans people(60 per bus) without cars can with 24 hours notice be evacuated from the city and driven to where???
Some Tent City in Houston.
Keep in mind the Hurricane could have moved to the west and hit Houston where you just moved the 120,000 people to. Who do you blame then?"

Lets see how you are at new math.
Millions to prepare for a stage 5 hurricane.
Billions on the Iraq war.
Billions to rebuild the area now that the levees are broke and the city flooded.
Hmmmm i wonder which one is better. The republicans obviously like putting america in debt to our eyeballs.
Captain obvious doesn't seem to realize that New Orleans wasn't built 3 years ago. It been around a couple more years than that. If your idiotic rational is used, then we better start relocating San Fran for earthquakes, Seattle and Portland Or. for volcanoes. Las Vegas and Phoenix, and LA for lack of water. What a stupid fucking train of thought.
These cities were built hundreds of years ago, and you act like they should just move the city. Brilliant.
I have an idea. How about we pull every fucking one of our Army corp of engineers out of fucking Iraq today. Who gives a flying rats ass about them, except the fucking oil companies. Lets take care of our own for once.
Maybe the oil companies that are fucking us, as we speak can rebuild Iraq, and put Bush in as king. That way everyone would be happy.
