Most of the money comes from the federal gummint. The insurance
companies don't pay for floods (you have to get it through FEMA), the
states don't have enough because of already cutting budgets to the bone
and laying off most of the maintenance department and hiring private
contractors. Most private individuals don't have fix-up money just
laying around - they'll have to borrow. The banks don't like to loan
because they prefer to put federal bailout money into bonuses and
acquisitions and nice boardroom and lobby woodwork and whatnot. So
it'll be an economic stimulus paid for by the taxpayer - commie socialism.
If I were a patriotic conservative janitor, I wouldn't take a penny of
that. And I won't work for free. We should let private investors (and
charitable organizations) work their magic like in New Orleans.
yay!
