Yup, nobody pays more taxes than a slum-dwelling poor person

Yeah it really sure is more cost effective to have 10s of thousands living on US Army bases having all their needs cared for by the Taxpayer then to have them owning their own homes and going to work and paying taxes. Really is more cost effective to have one of our major ports closed down and virtually all our agricultural exports trapped on the Mississippi river.

Like I said, penny wise and pound foolish.

A BIG if,If they work and if they pay taxes.Old habits die hard.

I'm sorry, but that's stupid. To get them off the bases, it isn't necessary to rebuild their slum in NO. They can live anywhere else in the country they want. If we need a port in NO, let someone build it. If nobody does, then apparently we didn't.
