New Orleans: The death of an American city

The Republican Congress is increasingly rumbling about not paying the $32 billion it would cost to rebuild New Orleans' levies to make them hurricane proof. But they have no problem passing four new tax cuts this week totaling $95 billion.

I think the GOP has decided to let New Orleans die because it's a liberal city, a city of "sin," and a black city. And if the Dems had any real leadership or balls they would take this issue and run with hit - the American public does not want to see Bush and the Republican Congress lose an entire American city.

How these repugs can even consider abandoning an American city is boggling! New Orleans is one of the most historic and beautiful cities in this country. Not to mention the fact that it is a huge tourist attraction - probably one of the biggest in the US! I could never have imagined that politicians would be this uncaring about an entire city!
