How very Socialist of you.
"So... basically you are advocating that the rest of us pay for you to rebuild in an OBVIOUS floodzone.
"How very Socialist of you."
I was waiting for one of you conservator-than-thou types to pull this very gag--GAG!
Or perhaps you don't understand that, when America pitches in and goes to work rebuilding a community, as happens in virtually all disasters, the economy explodes? (No, I don't think you conservator-than-thou types really rely on facts, but blind prejudice.) Contractors will go into the area to help rebuild, construction materials have to be bought, equipment purchased, workers paid, gasoline and fuel purchased. The entrepreneurs who take the risk of these undertakings will succeed and the American people will back them with financing and funds, stimulating economic interest and economic growth.
As to where the people of New Orleans choose to rebuild, that's there choice--or is this very socialist of you? Would you like to dictate to people whose properties were destroyed and who mourn family losses?
