Some here take exception to bringing this up.

This is exactly the right time to question why we send billions to other nations yet they do not do squat for us.

Where are rebuliding Iraq to the tune of $300 billion yet we could not build a retainer system to prevent New Orleans from being flooded. Now it will cost more of our tax dollars to rebbuild New Orleans. Iran, Indonesia, France and other nations will not offer a dime to help us.

Even if the money were available, no one had developed or even proposed a levee system big enough to prevent this.

Oh, just WAIT till the aftermath. What you brought up will fill the airways. Nothing wrong with wanting to take care of our own. Other Nations should have to wait.
