RE-building after Katrina
-- Hurricane Katrina and the floodwaters that swept through New Orleans
in its wake may have damaged 160,000 homes beyond repair,
an official with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers said Tuesday.
thats 160,000 homes
times 200,000.00 each (minumum @ today's prices)
--------------------------
equals 3,200,000,000.00 dollars. or 3 billion- 200 million
the govermernment is predicting 100 billion in damages(price tag)
and or what it'll take to rebuild the whole area
which seems really low.
the big dig cost just under 15 billion for example.
i think IMHO we should have a dedicated railroad delivering rock
from georgia and ALL of our mountains of old automobile tires
(read terrorist bio-warefare target's )
from across america to build one gigantic humongus
sea wall less than 100 miles long to protect that investment.
i have included a Map with a good location for such a project.
i'm just brain storming here....as the devastation
(our presidents favorite word) is ->unimaginable!
What say YOU?
