If you read, I stated that the people who owned, paid taxes ect, are the ones who should be funded. The state & local government used the Levy funds for other things. I hope that you are helping your 90 year old Grandmother, that is what families do, I lost mine a few years ago to cancer, and took time off from my work to take her to her cancer treatments, ect.

For god sakes you are wrong on so many levels I'm not sure where to start.
First, my comment about Nagin winning the white vote was in regards to the post that stated he had won because of the displaced residents getting to vote. Tha's not true.
The state and local government DOES NOT control the levee funds. The Fed along with the Army Corp of Engineers does, so you are wrong.
And while I would NEVER want to discount a family's struggle with cancer, you are fully discounting the reality of the situation family's face that have lost everything. Our willingness and need to help is far outweighed by the resources it would take to restore someones entire life earnings. This a helluva a lot bigger than rides to and from chemo.
So are you saying although they were responsible in every way, paid taxes and paid for flood insurance, that WE (meaning family) should be the one's responsible for fixing their lives?
Where's the Government's accountability?
