Washington also has a moral burden. It was the Federal Government's responsibility to build levees that worked, and its failure to do so ultimately led to New Orleans' being flooded.

Talk about non sequitur - those arguments were for re-building the port. None of them were for rebuilding the *city*. Two different questions.

Washington may have a moral burden to rebuild N.O. I on the other hand am tired of paying for the misfortunes of these people living in places that are at obvious risk. You want to live in one of these places....great, but suck it up when things go to the dogs

[kellynla]

Americans should ante up for levees that could/would be breached with one well placed IED which would result in another disaster.
I don't think so...

N'awlins...move it or lose it.

A quote from an anit-federalist and power hungry moron. I believe in the constitution and it clearly states it is NOT Washington's moral burden.

If Louisiana and New Orleans want levees that work it's their repsonsibilty and not that of the other 49 states. Boston wants a big hole in the ground? They should fund it and not me. I live in Tennessee and I want the TVA destroyed. Why should I get subsidized electricty from the rest of the country?
