The old corrupt machine will be a child's toy in comparison to the upcoming federally-funded fiasco.
As usual, the tax payers will have to fix the same levees many times.
I'm wondering what will happen and how much it'll cost when the next hurricane/Category 4/5 hits New Orleans and Louisiana, generally.
Because, there WILL be more Cat 4/5, it's just a matter of a year or so, and then we'll have another $100 billion (inflation for next year or thereabouts) and more deaths and suffering...
Why not force the "City of New Orleans" to rebuild somewhere else? I cannot understand the huge costs involved in rebuilding a city beneath sea level, surrounded by an ocean, the Mississippi River and a huge lake, by a manmade levee system. It's absurd to consider sinking these amounts of billions of dollars, time and construction into the existing area of N.O.
