"Today, $116 billion has been appropriated to remedy the effects of Katrina. The rebuilding effort includes: $17 billion for housing and community development; $8.4 billion for levees and flood control; $10 billion for Small Business Administration loans; and, $3.5 billion for highways and bridges."

Hunter sounds like Bush Junior when he quotes all of these invisible dollar amounts, most of which has yet to be seen on the street a full two years after the storm. Some help.

That’s odd. We had millions of dollars of electrical equipment we ordered get delayed because of the demand in NO for electrical gear and wire.

Bush Junior?

You are mistaken, Unc. Much of the money has been paid. The question is who is accountable for the money and what did they do with it? Past actions are a good indicator of future actions, and Nawlins is famous for corruption.

As I said in another post, Nawlins was given vast sums by the Fed to repair and maintain the levees years before Katrina. Instead, the money was used to install off shore gambling. The unrepaied levees broke with Katrina’s downpour.

Duncan Hunter does not grab figures out of the air. He knows what he’s talking about. He does not belong to the globalist Establishment. He is of the few really honest men left in Washington. I consider your comments completely out of line.

Why don't you ask Baton Rouge. Does anyone here think the federal government gives money to cities? It gives money to states and the capital of Loseranna is Baton Rouge. Why don't you ask your weeping governor why federal dollars going back to the Clinton era were not used for the intended purpose of shoring up the levies. Why don't you consider that Baton Rouge and New Orleans have had a long standing dispute and that Loserannans elect crooked politicians mostly Dems every election.

I know people in NO city hall and the stories I hear from them are ridiculous.
