Katrina victim sues US for...

[AndyMarquisLIVE]

... more money than God.

NEW ORLEANS - Hurricane Katrina's victims have put a price tag on their suffering and it is staggering — including one plaintiff seeking the unlikely sum of $3 quadrillion.

The total number — $3,014,170,389,176,410 — is the dollar figure so far sought from some 489,000 claims filed against the federal government over damage from the failure of levees and flood walls following the Aug. 29, 2005, hurricane.

Of the total number of claims, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers said it has received 247 for at least $1 billion apiece, including the one for $3 quadrillion.

Sad



I guess they think the government is their ticket to riches.

 

[Plan B]

Double-dipping; their culture of graft and corruption is what led to those levees' poor construction, and ultimate failure.

I guess they think the government is their ticket to riches.

And it seems they aren't a minority anymore.

The government didn't force the fools to live there... And I'll guarentee it's the lawyers looking to make the bulk of the money train, then the idiots...

Most the people I met down there were too stupid to figure out such a milking.

Within the local, state and Fed government that for generations essentially supported these folks thru entitlements, well as the saying goes "you reap what you sow"

How are the levees the federal government fault for failing. Shouldnt that be on the state level???.....

That is the best sum ever lol

"how much do you want to be paid for a hurricane destroying your $138,000 duplex?"

"I believe 3 quadrillion should cover it"

"3 quadrillion?"

"well I put in new carpet so ...."

Well, the Feds sent New Orleans and LA the money to fix the levee's and other moneys for Emergency management.. BUT LA law states any aid coming from the FEDS can be spent ANY way they chose, it can't be earmarked for specific items..

New Orleans got the money to fix them, but they decided the money would be better spent elsewhere.

Then the lawsuit should be against the state, not the feds.

But thats ok... If they win, the Government will tax the hell out of them anyway and get 90% of that money back

 

[Plan B]

Corps of Engineers designs and admins, contractors and matl hired by locals.
Shades of Long, Edwards, and Haggerty...
