NO

Oh the irony...

I'm kind of upset with Bush now. $3.1 million to go to rebuilding the levy system of New Orleans. That is insane. I understand that Hurricane Katrina was a big deal, but I don't understand why a whole new levy system is being built. I can understand cleaning up the city. I'm all for that. But let nature do its thing. People who have houses that are built on the edges of cliffs don't ask to have the cliff rebuilt whenever their house falls into the ocean. They are just as aware of the dangers as the people in New Orleans were of their hurricane danger.

If they would rebuild the levy system in a useful manner, then it might be worth it. But it won't, so why not use this "money" for something else? Don't we have a national debt to pay?
