I base it on the fact that I have personally spoken to people working at city hall to rebuild New Orleans. One of them happens to be someone close to me. I have spoken to these people at least 3 different times in person.

Now that said the reasons they give for the government buildings not being rebuilt is local red tape and morons running the city and state governments. I don't say that lightly, literally these people rebuilding mock how incompetent everyone is in the city government. They say the attitude is 'here, you sound like you know what your doing, you do it.'

I just came from New Orleans a couple weeks ago and 'the people on the street' are not hurting anymore than they used to. There are houses being built but it appears there is a bit of social engineering going on. In other words they want wealthier people moving into New Orleans.

Are you looking for the government to hand out 50,000 to individuals whose homes were destroyed? If my house caught on fire and I didn't have fire insurance should the gov't pay me money?

I’m still waiting for you to provide that amount of aide “already delivered”. You ought to be able to get this type of info from your pals in high places over at city hall. Like I said earlier, you’ve obviously formed an opinion so it must be based upon something. Facts, I hope.
