Did the Government forget about New Orleans?

Question

I mean look at the city, I mean when are we going to help rebuild?

Answer 1

No, we didn't.  The State has forgotten their people.  Unfortunately, the people put the same 'leader' back in power.  The same one that didn't use all those buses to get the people out.  The same one that took off and got him and his family settled and safe, but not the citizens he says he loves so much.  You keep doing what you've been doing and you get what you've always got!  New Orleans voted back in an incompetent Mayor - one who knows how to whine, but doesn't know how to drive a bus, paint a house, build a building, feed his people.  Sad.

Answer 2

No. The republican government does not care about people, but they did give grants to all the corporations who lost money. Money is important, lives are not. That's what any corporatist knows.

Answer 3

Let's be frank about this. The people who live in New Orleans are basically Black folk. What America thinks about Black folk today in 2007, as in the past, is beyond belief? From the poorest person all the way up to the President and the White House, America is "far behind" in its reality. Until America straightens out its thinking, this country's business won't be successful. Remember this, What shall we then say to these things? If GOD be for us, who can be against us? - Romans 8:31. The Lord daily loadeth us with BENEFITS, even the God of our salvation. Selah. - Psalm 68:19. Peace, Love and God Bless.

Answer 4

Pay attention.....The US Government has allocated billions of dollars for the reconstruction.  Those monies have been set aside and are awaiting theState of Louisiana and the city of New Orleans to ask for them.

Example.  Mississippi has entered over 500 requests for funds and those funds have been granted.  New Orleans has entered TWO....TWO requests.

Does not take a math genius to figure out that if you you do not ask for it, you ain't gonna get it.

If you want to gripe, gripe about the local authorities and state authorities who have fallen down on the job

The money is there all they have to do is ask for it.

I am sick and tired of hearing about New Orleans.

Did you know that no Federal monies went into rebuilding San Francisco after the earthquake?

San Francisco, private developers and the state of California did it all by themselves.

If they would spend more time working with their hands instead of holding them out, more would get done

Answer 5

Why is that the federal government's job?  The heck with throwing more money down that toilet.  Let them rebuild it themselves...they already stole over $2 billion.

Answer 6

More money and support than you can even believe has been given to New Orleans.  Also anything you see being sent to other countries to help them is the same type things we hand out in the US.

Answer 7

Why don't you rip into the local politicians there???  How is it they escaped accountability?

I'll say it again...that crowd of "starving refugees" at the stadium who were "too poor to evacuate" sure looked like the most OVER-FED group of starving folks I've ever seen i my life.

Answer 8

Of course they forgot about New Orleans, They are to busy spending Billions of dollars s******g up other country's they should be ashamed of themselves.

Answer 9

114 billion, if they haven't rebuilt it already, s***w em. Time to end the gravytrain.
