It is interesting watching Republicans with a tad of moral fiber calling the rest on the carpet, for being total jerks. Of course it’s also interesting how many of them ignore the “general welfare” clause, unless it’s for contractors, their buddies, or political contributors.
Spent many years, professionally, and as a volunteer helping people in such “accident or disaster” situations, and never considered it “liberal” OR “conservative”, just the responsibility of a fellow human, supporting a republican democracy.
Morty: a valid consideration, when folks build on barrier islands, or rebuild for the third time in a fire ecosystem in a canyon in California, never even “building to the environment”, they should NOT get insurance, or bailed out by the government. But when “unusual” events are the cause? Building on flood plains, even when government constructed levees make such land use feasible, isn’t always “bright”. But, who ever over-estimated the intelligence of the “populace”, it wasn’t P.Tl Barnum.

Whither New Orleans? Can we throw Louisiana back (and Jindal!). Or is it too late?
