You:Where does the government get the idea that they can tell people when and if they may return to their homes?

Me:The roads to their homes are public

You: Yea, and as such the people who pay for them should determine who may use them.

The people who pay for the roads determine when the roads may be used -- by electing their representive who then determines such. See, New Orleans, Mayor Nagin of New Orleans and Hurricane Katrina...for an example.

[Veritas et equitas ad Votum]

Okay. My issue is not whether or not the people of New Orleans should be permitted to drive on the roads.

My point is that federal tax money should only be used for legitimate federal issues, such as rebuilding the oil drilling infrastructure and the shipping port at the mouth of the Mississippi.

As for those who cannot make their insurance payments, find food or shelter, or supplies to repair their homes, the funds should come from the State of Louisiana, friends, family, neighbors and private charity.
