4. They haven't even recovered in Lake Charles yet.

They were hit twice and that's farther north and west. I have a friend who lives there and her house still has work that has to be done. Not enough contractors to do the work and too much damage. Some people were evacuated twice and many of her employees still haven't returned to work because they haven't returned from Houston where they evacuated to. Now it's this wreckage from Ida in New Orleans.

We spent trillions of dollars fighting two unnecessary wars in the Middle East and the media wants to continue to focus on Afghanistan. Instead of nation building somewhere else I would think we need to repair our own nation. Spend those trillions here.
