They are NOT related?
Ok.
Let me say this again slowly...
You
Don't
See
These
Stories
Coming
Out of
Florida
and it gets hit regularly by hurricanes....and when the governor asks for money...he gets it....
and we arent even gonna get into the wildfires that seem to be happening yearly out in the midwest.
So WHY 2 years later and NOLA still looks a hot mess?
Reading in between the lines is indeed Fundamental

Don't be a dick about this - how absurd. Let me give you a similarly douchey response:
Say
what
you
really
mean.
You make innuendos about the difference between NO and FL, but give no real idea of comparison - I'm pretty sure Katrina did more damage to NO than any hurricane has ever done to a comparable city in FL. The freaking city was largely uninhabitable afterwards. You don't see FL saying this because the comparison probably isn't valid.
So what are you really implying? A racial bias? A preference toward his brother's state? Hell, these things might be accurate, but if that's the discussion, discuss that.
As far as comparing the war, there's zero evidence that the war has prevented any work on the city of New Orleans. There's no evidence that stopping the war tomorrow would lead to significant changes in New Orleans.
Just because the money for the war is misspent, it doesn't mean money is being taken from other places - this is simplified, obviously, but the concept is deficit spending.
The US Government has probably made massive mistakes regarding rebuilding New Orleans, but these mistakes exist independent of the war effort. Argue that you would rather have that money for NO if you want, but don't act like I am the retard for asking you for actual discussion and support for your views.
Sugar08 is a great example for arguing your side with actual information, instead of inferring that I'm the simpleton. I guarantee you I am not.
