Where is the compassion. Thousands of people lost everything they had. You guys act like you are better than the people who live there. Quit being so childish.

">>>>sought from some of the largest claims filed against the federal government ......"

translation "We're sewing the tax payers of the US....."

New Orleans was in a flood plain area. Everyone who lived there, owning or not, should have had flood insurance paid for out of their pockets. It's not the Federal Govt's responsibility to bail out everyone who did not take steps to insure their own property. That includes business operations as well.

I don't think you can sue the government. The lawsuits were filed to make a statement....don't think the plaintiff's are expecting any money out of this.

Perhaps these people who are suing the Army Corps of Engineers might care to sue those who are ultimately responsible; ie. the local leadership that used the federal money given them to improve the levies on other more important things like private jets...

If the plaintiff was not paying taxes, and therefore not funding the Corps, they should be eliminated from the suit.

If they were paying taxes, they had insurance and they should be compensated by their insurance companies.

If they did not have insurance, as a taxpayer, I choose to not compensate them for their shortsightedness.

If you live in a ditch, eventually you will get wet.

(I've got some anger today..tomorrow I may apologize)

You can sue the hell out of the government. Successfully even.

I have no compassion for those that do not even try to help themselves. New Orleans WAS NOT the worst area hit. But what we see is the total collapse and failure of the Welfare System.

Where as other areas cleaned up after themselves, New Orleans really hasn't lifted a finger to do anything.

Where as in other areas evacuated when they had several days notice, New Orleans residents DID NOTHING.

Not to mention the almost absolute plundering of the Superdome that the rest of the US's taxpayers had to pay for.

I have absolutely no compassion for those sewer rats.

Well apparently they want us to pay to get them all their stuff plus more
back. I guess we deserve that for our unfeeling rejection of their greed.

Maybe they should just hand out more "debit cards."

You guys act like this is the only place in the US people don't deserve help. Did we complain about the Northridge earthquake and all the tax payer dollars that went to help those victims. How about when Florida was struck with 4 hurricanes in one season, did we complain about helping them. Did we complain about the tax dollars going to ground zero when the world trade center was not a publicly owned building? How about tornado alley, do we complain about the idots who live in spots where you play russian roulette with huge twisting winds of rage? How about the northeast and the snow and ice storms that suck up tax payer dollars? How about the fires up in Montana or again in California, it's a friggin desert, what did you expect.

You guys need to lighten up, this is almost the proverbial glass house stone throw.

Lol you compare that to folks that live underwater? Not only that... you compare those folks that got help and went on their way to folks in new orleans that make a living on asking and getting help.... it is incredible that anyone is getting help still from that storm so long ago.

Maybe you can pay some retribution to NO for what happened there in the war between the states or do you draw the line at some year that help finally stops.

You seem to like spending other folks money...... why don't you go there and do some labor to help and donate from your pocket. Cut out the middle man and just go buy some drugs and alcohol and distribute it..... because the only folks still on the handout are the ones that were before the storm.
