I can't imagine why the US taxpayer should foot the bill for the rebuild of NO.

And if we are gonna get the tab, why not take the opportunity to do it right and build it up to sea level??

The Republicans will buy as many votes as they can and we will get the tab, so lets fix it so that this won't happen with the next storm.

Someone show me the language in the Constitution giving Congress any authority for public charity. I find no justification for such an appropriation in the Constitution.

When any elected member of Congress has the guts to say anything like that, I'll be shocked. That horse left the barn way too long ago. Their oath to uphold the Constitution is nothing more than a farcical formality.

its one of our cities, and a national treasure, to not rebuild it would be a stab in the back to the American spirit, and to the taxpayers/citizens that live in New Orleans.. My family left there for better opportunities elswhere, but we still call it home, and if the GOP chooses to abandon one of the few charming cities in this country to mother nature and leave its citizens hanging, I, as conservative as I am, will leave the GOP..
