Why should I , a US taxpayer, help pay billion$ to rebuild NO when everyone knows it is certain to flood again. The idiots who built the place below sea level and then expect it to remain flood-protected, were nothing more than the same corrupt RATs who are still in charge in the State and City.

Please see post #30. If Lousiana has its way you will pay whether you want to or not. But just to reiterate: It is beginning to dawn on Lousiana that we have the Nation literally over a barrel. Our Natural Resources are such that we can tax our way out of our own peril and have the Nation pay the tab at the pumps. This idea is beginning to take root here as our Federal government refuses to own up to it's share of responsibility in their failed Levy protection system. I give a lot of credit for this idea to some very astute politicians in the State of Lousiana.
Exactly.
