That's absurd. Where are you reading this, some college paper? Funds for state repairs would be funded by STATE taxes not by FEDERAL taxes. Thus, Bush's boner for Iraq would have no sway in the state's decision to enhance the leevees or not.Khorne said:I`ve read that the money that was supposed to go to repairing the dam went to Iraq instead.......
Hehe. It seems to me that there would be other projects more worthy of being cut in the national budget than disaster preventatives like the levees. Like, say, Medicaid and Medicare for one. But hey, that's just one man's opinion.Woland said:This program just got cut so the politicians could point to it as an example as them valiantly trying to balance the budget. Doubtful they'll use it as an example now.

It was evacuated. Some people chose to stay and/or had no place to evacuate to. Those that stayedlikely didn't think it would be as bad as was forecast. Really, they couldn't have seen the true scope of the destruction that would come. But... personally, I would have started walking.Nobunaga said:Why wasn´t New Orleans evacuated? If a worst case scenario was already made, why people didn´t just run for their lives before the hurricane hit?
(No that´s not a retorical question, where I live we don´t have almost any information about the Katrina catastrophore(did I got that right ?) and I was wondering...)
