Katrina affected everyone, not just New Orleans. Also, we were whacked by Ike and that was bad too, but no cities were destroyed and no one whined like after Katrina.
I've been through Rita and Ike since Katrina happened. Both of them have been tossed in the dustbin of history but Katrina lives on. There is something wrong with that. Not that I think Rita and Ike should still be out there but that Katrina should go away too.
Not only do we still remember Katrina but we are still PAYING for it. I don't think they have removed those freeloaders from the gov't tit yet. I could be wrong but I think they are still drawing gov't checks.
