That's correct. And New Orleans has received over $1 billion dollars since the early 1970's to improve the levee system, but most the money was diverted to some BS pork work projects. Has anyone else been following how the Red Cross had two truckloads of food, water and blankets by the Superdome prior to the Hurricane, but the governor wouldn't allow them to be distributed because "we don't want to encourage people to stay there."
