August 28 is the fifth anniversary of hurricane Katrina. Billions of dollars have been poured into New Orleans and most of the homes which were destroyed during Katrina are STILL destroyed. Only about 700 of the thousands of homes in the Lower Ninth Ward have been rebuilt and those have been built with private money. Why? Because most of the money is going into the pockets of New Orleans and Louisiana politicians same as always. Mostly the same people who pocketed the billions of dollars give to New Orleans and Louisiana to make the dikes better in the decade before Katrina happened.

The more things change the more they stay the same.
