As a New Orleans property owner who was fortunate not to lose 100% of our property I thank you the American tax payer for your generosity.

The City of New Orleans and the Gulf Coast of Mississippi will be rebuilt!

Don't thank me, if it was up to me they would leave the place flooded and rebuild it on higher ground somewhere else.

I, like many people, was shocked to find out that New Orleans is built in a hole surrounded by water and has to have pumps on all the time just to keep it dry. I have a big swimming pool. It has never crossed my mind to build a house in it.

Rebuilding NO is throwing good money after bad. Which is fine unless it's the taxpayers money. Which in this case will be going in to the most corrupt state in the nation. What a waste.

Congress has already approved the lending of billions of dollars to shore up the huge losses that will be coming out of the National Flood Insurance Program (FEMA). This money comes right out of the US Treasury. And is going back in to building houses in New Orleans that will just flood again. And again.

I now understand why the last time I went to New Orleans everyone was drunk. You'd have to be to live there.

"I thank you the American tax payer for your generosity". Don't thank us, thank the politicians who will throw buckets of money at you to boost their poll numbers. We, the American tax payers, are about to get screwed big-time, and aren't even getting kissed first.
