Off Topic New Orleans has been getting close to $400 million a year in Federal grants for who knows how long. Personally, I can't quite understand why the 300 million people who do not live below sea level should have to fork over their wages for the 1 out of 600 who do. In the mean time, the proposed cuts for next year could hardly have had any effect on this year's maintenance. The real questions should be, "Why did their multi billion dollar levee system fall apart the first time the wind blew?", and, "Why, with that kind of funding available, couldn't the workmanship been of adequate quality to insure it didn't fail?". The storm damage was considered minimal right up until the levees failed.
