"You couldn't make this stuff up. Landrieu just spoke on Fox News, saying that the damage to LA will be worse than it had to be because "the government" (Evil Republicans) didn't spend enough money on building levees and other protective structures for New Orleans."
Would someone explain to me just what would be enough levees and whatnot to protect a city where the "high ground" is 25 feet above sea level from a Category 4 hurricane?
"She then stated that using the strategic oil reserves to alleviate shortages from damaged oil rigs wouldn't be of much help because "the government" (Evil Republicans) hasn't spent enough federal money (your money) in building a greater industrial base for LA, which "the government" (Evil Republicans) has neglected."
Last I checked, industry was built by private enterprise--and Louisiana isn't the friendliest state in the union for entrepeneurs.
I'd say LA has historically been the most liberal of the South and considering they can elect some moonbat like Landrieu just confirms that, even though Vitter did do surprisingly well in his November victory.
This really does sum it up. Other than a biodome, I don't know what would help. And it's sinking, levees and all.

Well, besides the oil refineries, isn't a major component of the economy based on tourism and to some extent gambling? Are those not viable economies in New Orleans?
