My point is that federal tax money should only be used for legitimate federal issues, such as rebuilding the oil drilling infrastructure and the shipping port at the mouth of the Mississippi.

I'm not a hot shot like my friend rdb (I'm wearing a big smile right now), but let a little pipsqueak like me ask a question or two about your above statement:

Who will be rebuilding the oil drilling infrastructure and manning the shipping port at the mouth of the Mississippi? Where are those folks going to live? The commute from Kansas is going to be a real bitch.

I don't know about all that. I'm just doing my best to be a kool kat while in this wheelchair.

I have no idea where the people will live who need to do work in and around New Orleans.

Who said anything about relief workers commuting from Kansas?

If you are referring to my earlier post, I suggested that those who choose to live in a place below sea level do so at their own peril and that it is wrong for them to expect me to pay their bills in the event that the inevitable happens.

If they were unwilling or unable to cope with a disaster like Katrina, they should have moved somewhere else long ago. It is not a surprise to most people that this happened, it was just a matter of time.

Perhaps you have a legitimate counter argument to my point of view rather than arguing straw men?
