Unbelievable. a wailing wall for the American left and poverty pimps.
Will it be made of chocolate?
Flooded school busses?
Fine. Let Haiti have it.
ROFLOL! Yeah, until the money is embezzled by the scions of Chocolate City's political elite!
Like they're going to refuse buckets and buckets of money to create garbage.
Reads like a skillfully worded press release designed to justify having some congressman throw a pork sandwich into the next bill when nobody is looking. Maybe they should look in Representative Jefferson’s freezer first.
No doubt the Memorial will resemble the baby bird in feeding pose symbolizing the feed me , I’ve fell out of my nest, attitude of those too stupid to leave when leaving was good.
As to elevating the city above flood level........based on recent amounts of bullsh*t shoveled there on a day to day basis alone ........that ville should be a mile high city by now.......
just my opinion of course.
Unbelievable, a cheapening of memorials. Memorials are for war veterans and the like, NOT things of this nature. Why there’s even a memorial to AIDs victims for crimony’s sakes. Enough is enough.
Isn't this typical back-a$$wards?!
Let’s see...wasn’t about a billion bucks donated for Katrina victims? I don’t believe that all of it was used by the other states that were more severely hit directly by the hurricane than NO which was a victim of primarily local political malfeasance. Let em eat chocolate.
Uhm, after Hurricane Camille they built a Memorial for the people who died in Mississippi, and if I remember correct it didn’t cost anything like this.
Also, the people of Mississippi didn’t ask the Federal Government for the money to do it, the people who lived there donated money to build it, and then took turns taking care of it.
But there I go, expecting responsibilty from the Leadership in New Orleans again.
Funny, since Hurricane Katrina hit MISSISSIPPI, not Louisiana!! If the democrats had spent the appropriated monies on the levees, New Orleans would have not been radically hurt by Katrina.
14 billion divided by 140 thousand remaining residents equals one hundred thousand per resident.
The best thing to have happened to New Orleans is Katrina. They’ve won a windfall!
In 1906, a massive earthquake virtually destroyed San Francisco. During the previous century, Mrs. O’Leary’s cow kicked over a lantern leading to the incineration of the majority of the city of Chicago.
Perhaps I exist in an alternative universe, but it seems to me that both of those now are big vibrant cities which rebuilt with zero aid from a bloated Federal government.
Why does New Orleans need all this monetary help? It developed because people wanted to go there; it will re-develop if people want to go there.
Trust me. Bronze Ray Nagin. Stick him on a pedestal. You’re done. Not only will you be memorializing the Katrina dead, you’ll be getting one of their proximate causes out of the picture.
All the persons from the Carribean that I know of call these Katrina "victims" dumb or dupes for living in a city built below sea level.
