Makes me ashamed of myself.

As I pointed out elsewhere we will have to spend a whole s__tload of cash just to keep the Mississippi and the delta navigable. And to keep the gulf oil and fishing industries from tanking. And to support the whole NO shipping and transportation node. Believe me or not, we will do this and it makes perfect economic sense. It costs more not to do it.

Rebuilding NO to some extent is necessary just to support the infrastructure noted in the prior paragraph. If you think there's going to be some commission that will hand down decisions on what rebuilding is absolutely necessary and permitted you are wrong. We will rebuild NO. Fume about it if you want.
