NFT: Is New Orleans Worth $32 Billion? - Page 2

It's a deal compared to Iraq.

I would still vote against it.

BigChiefFan · 11-29-2005, 02:50 PM

The city is worth it, but 30 years seems like an absurd amount of time. Sounds like more government horsecrap to steal more tax dollars from the middleclass.

**Saulbadguy** · 11-29-2005, 02:51 PM

No thanks.

I'd allow commerical re-development, but not allow any residential areas around the flood zones.

**HemiEd** · 11-29-2005, 02:53 PM

Nope, the looters have already taken everything of value.

only the parts that whites can venture into.

If it were your home it might be worth $32 large. If the Saints promise not to come back it might be worth twice that.

Jenson71 · 11-29-2005, 03:08 PM

No, but there's a few nice houses in California that are.

**Skip Towne** · 11-29-2005, 03:09 PM

No tax money to rebuild. If the residents want to rebuild, have at it.

Whoa, sorry. Had a reversio there for a second.

Law and Order even said they took anthrax, so it must be true. Then the Patriot act covered it up and a patriotic journalist went to jail to expose the feds, it must be true. Bush Is a pathetic evil lying bastard.

We are a long ways from baseball season to start talking about the Yankees payroll.

She didn't clarify her statement, 15 billion of that money would be split between herself, the Mayor, the City Council, Edwin Edwards, the Long family (the Long family and Edwards will get a cut of everything by default for paving the way for the corruption that will now and forever engulf Louisiana Politics) and the rest will probably actually go towards rebuilding.

Have you ever read Robert Penn Warren's All The King's Men ?

So, $32 billion is too much to spend on New Orleans, but it's OK to waste several hundred billion on Iraq...even though a civil war is almost certain to occur shorty after our withdrawal?

Most of you fuggers would support spending $30 billion to rebuild Branson, MO., just so you could continue to marvel at Glen Campbell's act.

Yes, New Orleans should be rebuilt, better than it was before, at any cost.

Even though there are quite a few African-Americans there.
