I don't see it bouncing back. I'm wondering where America is getting the money for all this. Where are they going to find 30 billion ? Will we be paying 50 % taxes in the next 10 years ? If so, they will come down hard on online poker for money. [/ QUOTE ] We're flushing 5 billion per month down Iraq. 30 billion to rebuild a part of the US is chump change. Of course, our debt is out of control, but as long as we print money and China doesn't forclose, it's not a problem.

[/ QUOTE ] Sure it does. The arguement was that tax dollars shouldn't be used to finance the rebuilding of a city that is in a dangerous area. But everyone wants the goods that are brought in through a port city. You need workers to live near the port. Thus, there is a trade-off between the risk of catastrophe and the benefit of commerce.

Let it sink in to the gulf, and turn Baton Rouge into the major port of the lower Mississippi.

Re: What will N.O. be like 6 months ?
I think they should let NO go. Personally, I believe huge hurricanes like this are going to become more common with the warming of the earth. If they rebuild it, it will likely get struck by another big hurricane in a few years.
I had assumed that global warming would take our coasts inch-by-inch, but that doesn't appear to be what is going to happen. Instead, we are going to see super-massive hurricanes that just obliterate coastal areas and move our coasts back a few miles or more in large sections with each super-hurricane.
