Is New Orleans ready?

Looks like now they are saying that New Orleans might be ground zero for hurricane Isaac.

It looks like New Orleans could be devastated again with a really bad, category four or five, hurricane.

Apparently, the local corrupt government has been stealing federal funds intended to improve the levees for decades.

If you remember the investigation Bill Clinton "borrowed" some of those funds too.

$14 billion "spent" on re-building the NOLA levee system.....knowing the Democrats and union thugs that control that city, most of it is likely stolen or wasted.

New Orleans is a one party Democrat city. It's been badly run for a long time. ACORN and SEIU have their national headquarters there, in the same building. If New Orleans floods again, I hope Houston doesn't take in the refugees like last time. Violent crime skyrocketed in Houston after Katrina. Most of them are still here, living on welfare, unless they're in jail.

LMAO at you three

we are so ready for the hurricane..................... ..my only problem is how to get my family of 3 grown kids,an SO,4 cats,me and a 2 year old in my pickup! lol

5 adults and one child, no problem. The 4 cats on the other hand may be interesting.

Of course you ignore the findings that it would take over 550 billion to truly fix the levies.

No one is ignoring anything but just making the point that money goes in to that black hole and is never seen again whether it is $550 billion or $14 billion.
