What about the amount of money we borrow from other counties to pay for all this? If China or Japan or whoever says "Our economy is stable and we don't need you and we want our money back" we're screwed. They can charge whatever they want for their exports and if we want it, we'll pay for it. What the US is doing now is not a smart way to run a country.

When are we ever going to see a surplus again? :banghead.gif

When we stop spending money on a useless war, and when this current regime is gone.

Actually, history shows that natural disasters of this type are an economic boost to the economy over time. While its true the immediate impact is detrimental; the influx of money in the form of donations/federal-state-local relief, etc. often provides an upstart in the economy in the rebound.

Case in point, South Florida after Hurricane Andrew. Andrew crippled much of Miami and Homestead when it passed through. Infastructure, utilities, residential, commercial, retail where all impacted by the storm. Not long after, thousands of people descended on the area and started the rebuilding process. As a result, everyone benefited. Jobs were created, the local economy saw a giant influx in the form of transient workers and local businesses started to respond to the rebulding efforts. The local employment rate skyrocketed, wages went up, building starts (not just rebuilds) increased, infastructure and utilites were improved and so on.

The levees were no surprise. Everyone knew it was just a matter of time. New Orleans was a disaster waiting to happen. It'll come back. Bringing it back will be a economic benefit for everyone.
