More Money for New Orleans

Yet another story today on USAToday.com about the government and people of New Orleans asking for more money... this time in lawsuits against the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. More than 70,000 claims have been filed, including one for $200 billion by Louisiana's attorney general and other by the city of New Orleans for $77 billion. Here's the link to the story with all the details...

This is beyond outrage. Will New Orleans' demand for money ever stop? The government and people there act like this is the first time there has ever been a natural disaster anywhere. It's time for this town to stop playing the victim and start helping itself.
