"The whole state can stop whining now. I don't want to hear about the poor "victims" who were left homeless."

Some are indeed victims multiple times over. They were lied to by the ACE who said the levees were built correctly to specs (they weren't). They were lied to by their insurance companies who said they were covered for disasters (and then argued that the owner didn't have the right coverage). They were lied to by the state who said recovery money was coming (and somehow it has gotten lost). They were lied to by FEMA who said they could handle a major disaster (and were totally overwhelmed to the point that over a year later, some people still on FEMA lists haven't been helped). They were lied to by out-of-state contractors who did half the job and then left the state with the money they stole. I could go on and on. It is hard not to feel like a victim when you are drowning in a bureaucracy of red tape and companies are trying to screw you out of every last dime you have.

Then it's more the State of Louisiana's and the various parishes that are messing with the people. So when is the STATE going to reimburse the Federal Government and/or put those people in homes?

Did William Jefferson, D-Louisiana, get reelected?
