When did LA. and NO secede from the Union? Also, one might ask when these
folks stopped paying their taxes.

The only real purpose for a federal government is to protect it's citizens.

The federal government owed it, I mean OWED it to the people of NO to
protect them and/or rescue them after the fact.

Again. The levees are owned by the Federal government, not the State.

Again, who cares? It was up to the State of Louisiana to take care of New
Orleans. More importantly, it was up to New Orleans to take care of New
Orleans. Whether that meant paying for the improvements themselves, or
applying political pressure to the Army Corps of Engineers, Congress, or
Santa Claus, it should have been done BY THEM. I'm really, REALLY tired
of New Orleans politicians pointing the finger of blame everywhere except
at their own chests.
