Clearly it is attempted blame-deflection. Blanco trying to get people to harp on Hastert instead of examining HER role in this disaster.
So transparent it's sickening.
yes, but its effective. Hastert has already issued a clarification. and no one is saying a word about Blanco's incompetence.
All you engineers and costruction people out there...........
What is the answer to this "rebuild NO" stuff.
When a home is flooded half-way up the ceiling, is the damage to the drywall, studs, insulation, etc. fatal? Can a home stay flooded that high and be salvageable or would it be too costly to repair?
If it is a total loss, how in gawds name can they rebuild some entire neighborhoods on taxpayers' back? If so, I can see a $300 billion to $1 trillion repair job.
