Not good ... Death toll in Louisiana could be above 10,000: US Senator

"My guess is that it will start at 10,000, but that is only a guess," Vitter said, adding that he was not basing his remarks on any official death toll or body count.

Vitter, a Louisiana Republican, also called for the immediate deployment of regular US combat troops in New Orleans, saying the build-up of National Guard troops was too slow to quickly restore order.

Is this just one more sign of a coming deflation Patron according to most of our friends on the Credit Bubble board? As the originator of this board do you think the next housing bust is due to a deflation/depression or high interest rates? It is so funny how all in the media and politicians feel we have enormous resources to cover any contingency. Shit what are we looking at $1 trillion of budget deficits in just the next year now?

I really think we should just leave Iraq tomorrow (1 billion a DAY), and repeal all Bush tax cuts for those making $1 mil or more.
