Five miles inland from Lake Borgne, which is essentially a bay of the Gulf of Mexico, is “on the coast”, like it or not.
They should have said 100 years ago “We’re moving inland, above sea-level; we don’t need your levees anymore”.
Apparently not only the population of New Orleans, but the city government of New Orleans and the state government of Louisiana is fully composed of parasites who want the Federal Government to fix the hurt boo-boo and scare away the things that go bump in the night.
You’re not answering the question. Would you have supported Gov. Blanco & the La. National Guard seizing the levees by force from the US Army in 2004, yes or no?
If your answer is no, then you’re obligated to support the FedGov paying the full cost of everything it destroyed when the US Army’s levees spontaneously disintegrated in Category 1/2 winds.
Any other answer leaves you exposed as a crazed genocidalist.
