Certinally those in new orleans who lost everything from porely
maintained levees should be made whole. the government screwed up not
building them right from day one

The government screwed up by building them in the first place. Nothing is
impenetrable and living below sea level is just plain risky. I don't want
any of my tax dollars going to rebuild. I'd rather see it spent to relocate
those people and give them a start elsewhere..
