Low life, socialist minded politicians are the biggest problem this area faces. Bigger than the levees. But guess what me boy? That same statement fits NYC, Boston, Philly, DC, Atlanta, San Francisco, LA and just about any other major city you can name.
And before you get too far gone on your high horse, federal money fowed into Florida like a storm surge after Irene, Ivan, Katrina, Andrew and all the others. Remember, he who lives by the sword, dies by the sword.

Nagin was re-elected because the former New Orleans residents were allowed to vote. New Orleans provided busses for voters to travel from Houston and other cities, back to New Orleans, to vote. These people, based on time in place, are no longer residents of New Orleans.
They have not integrated into Houston either. They put these people on local TV and they say they want to go home to New Orleans. But none of them are doing anything to rebuild New Orleans. They do like to complain when the government assistance is cut off.
My Company is hiring. We need many more workers. But most of these people are unwilling or "unable" to take the jobs. They recently had a woman on TV who claimed she looked for jobs, but couldn't find one. When asked what her skills were, she said she could answer the phone. Except, it came out as "Will, ahh cann ansuh da phone." Yup, full of skills.
