Building the levees to protect against a cat 5 hurricane are a state
responsibility. I believe the Federal government has been more than
generous in providing assistance in this regard. New Orleans is not,
and should not be, a federal responsibility. In any case, the levees
will not protect against the damage caused by a cat5 hurricane. The
city would have flooded from the rain, even had the levees held.

The Feds delivered seven trailers of food and water to the Superdome
the day the hurricane hit and seven more trailers the very next day.
The Coast Guard rescued 1200 people within the first 48 hours. In the
same time frame, the Navy provided doctors and medicine to treat the
ill and injured. Within two more days, the feeding and evacuation of
over 60,000 people had been accomplished.

There have been plans for improvements over the years but many have been
blocked by environmental terrorists (greenies).

Perhaps they should be rounded up and held accountable for the
deaths/damage.

They are also responsible for the screwed up mess that is our refining
industry. Thankfully the fed has now pulled head out of **** and lifted
many of the regulations and red-tape. Still though it will take years
to build up the capacity we actually need.
