Let me assure you that whatever they paid in the past is peanuts compared to what they are going to pay now. I imagine the US is dealing with in excess of 500,000 workless, homeless refugees for a start and a non-functioning, major city of which most parts have to be completely rebuilt and certainly refurbished. And that's after the levee system has been attended to which, as far as I can work out, would seem to be an enormous task on its own. And that's only New Orleans. Biloxi and other surrounding towns also need immediate attention.

And who even knows what preparations are needed for the future?

You can be sure there will be many questions asked and innumerable "bipartisan" commissions of inquiry. All at yet more cost to the US taxpayer. It's not surprising that the USD took a hit yesterday?
