Yeah, I myself question the 'rebuilding' of New Orleans. It's in a bowl for all
intents and purposes and it'll just get wiped out again. Not today, not
tomorrow, but it will happen.

New Orleans did just fine until George Bush cut the funds for levee
maintenance. New Orleans did fine until the oil companies destroyed the
50 miles of marshlands between the city and the Gulf. New Orleans did
fine until Mr. Go.

But don't worry. Nobody's rebuilding New Orleans.

- New Orleans did just fine until George Bush
- cut the funds for levee maintenance.

Dave you are repeating another Liberal Lie : Point of Fact
the State of Louisiana and the City of New Orleans
'diverted the Level Money from Levees and Maintenance
to Yacht Harbours and Gambling Casinos.
-so-called- Civic Improvements

-*New Orleans did fine until the oil companies destroyed
- the 50 miles of marshlands between the city and the Gulf.

Dave a clear distrotion of the Facts : That is to the South
the Storm Surge came from the North from Lake Pontchartrain.

- New Orleans did fine until Mr. Go.

Who The 'F' is "Mr. Go."

- But don't worry. *Nobody's rebuilding New Orleans.

The City of New Orleans is getting rebuild slowly because
the State of Louisiana and the City Government are doing
what they do best : Siphoning-Off the Money for other uses.

Nice and polite and to the point response RHF. :-) I've read the cloak
and dagger stories about the local government and how they have their
hands in everything but grandma's cookie jar over there.

Lets say everything you just said was the truth and no embellishments.
Why then did little ole' me know without a doubt that this was going
to happen and more than likely in my lifetime? Crystal ball maybe? Or
just common sense? You can pick.

Name a place that isn't vulnerable. New Orleans has low spots that were
supposed to be protected by levees and pumps. The levees were the
responsibility of George W. Bush and the levees failed when they were
supposed to protect.

So the State of Louisiana is NOT Responsible for the
Levees out-side NewOrleans ? - - - When specific
Ear-Marked Federal Funds are Provided to the State
of Louisiana for Levee Districts to Build and Maintain

NOTE - The Louisiana State Legislature CUT the
Levee District's Tax Revenues in Half (1/2 ~ 50%).

Political Coruption Siphoning-Off of Money at both

The state and the city are not responsible. The US Army Corps of
Engineers are responsible. Mr. Bush is Commander in Chief. He even has
a cute little Eisenhower jacket that says so.
