“Do you know another way the State of Louisiana could have paid for their own levees?”

I don’t know... tax the idiots who want to live below sea level?

So, here you're still advocating that the US Army should still be in charge of the levees. You just want some amorphous undefined additional tax penalty levied on the locals. Presumably you'd want additional taxes everywhere the US Army builds levees? Regardless, that still leaves the US Army liable for flooding the city (up to 3 ft above sea level btw) with their shitty canal walls. $1 trillion please, thank you drive thru.

“Do you think the US Army would hand them over willingly?”

Yes.

This is just delusional on your part. The US Army Corps has been seizing more and more land via eminent domain. They ain't giving up anything.

No. Read it again.

“You just want some amorphous undefined additional tax penalty levied on the locals.”

Local taxes by your state.
