Earthquakes are uncertain. Further, their impact has been lessened by improved building standards and materials. Tornadoes are even more uncertain. I've lived in Oklahoma City my entire life. I've never been hit by a tornado. Chances are, I never will be.
But a flood in New Orleans? Something which will cost billions and wipe out thousands? It is a certainty. It cannot be avoided. Maybe it could if we dumped a few hundred billion back into it.
Is that really worth it so that a bunch of (pardon my lack of political correctness) poor people can live in the middle of a swamp? What are the American people getting for their money here?
