So, why is it suddenly the federal governments problem to fix NOLA's problems when that state decided build a stupid sports arena that cost THREE TIMES what the levees would have cost to fix? That's along the lines of you buying a new plasma T.V. instead of groceries for your family and kids, and then demanding that the state sends you food stamps to feed them. The levee issue is nothing new in that state. You need to make sure the blame goes to EVERYONE that deserves it.
