Like has anyone been outside of New Orleans? It's still looking like a disaster area. FEMA trailers, little infrastructure. Totally third world.
Let's spend a few billion there and actually get it straightened out.

Smart use of our tax dollars. Rebuild the sunken city so we can bail it out (literally and figuratively) again in the future. I thought NO was pretty close to Third World status before Katrina.

You know for fifty billion we could truck a mountain from Colorado by the truckload, one at a time, and raise New Orleans high enough so that they wouldn't need levees.
