They were cutting money to do this kind of thing over the last few years - when they should have been increasing it.

It's a federally run game of political chicken. "We know they need the money desperately to save their city. But nothing has happened so far and we are going to gamble that this is not the year it happens. . . and so are going to use the money elsewhere".

This game has likely been the modus operandi of our federal government regarding New Orleans, as well as other such needy places for decades. It is akin to the complacency that sets in against terrorists because we haven't heard from them in a while. It is also akin to the ostrich burying his head in the sand so that nobody can see him.
