If China had 400 dredges that they would loan us for 6 months and we could get New Orleans on her feet 5 years ahead of our capabilities, I'd say "Go for it."
That doesn't sound so bad. But I do worry that the money spent needs won't go to domestic contractors and suppliers, and we won't be able to keep the money in our country for to help the domestic economy. If we contract with foreign companies, the money will go out of country. Its going to be hundreds of billions and as much money as possible needs to be spent here to help the domestic economy recover.
