I think the blame has been localized to rest on the head of: the Army Corps of Engineers and FEMA. The first for building levees that couldn't withstand a 1 or maybe a lightweight 2 hurricane and the second for being a bureaucratic nitwit. This gets the Republicans screaming about how they hate big government while BEING BIG GOVERNMENT and STEALING FROM BIG GOVERNMENT. Nice hat trick that. Meanwhile, another $2 billion or so has been stolen (AGAIN) by Republican cronies. More no-bid, anti-capitalist contracts have been doled out by Republicans. The go-slowly approach is certainly a way to keep poor people out of NO....forever. At any rate, big insurance companies are certainly finding a way out of their pickle: they get the premiums for decades and leave the taxpayer holding the bag for the payouts. Now that's rightwing capitalism for you. See how well it works?
