I agree with above about the 800+ billion in actual costs and I agree that we shouldn’t be concerned with the calculating the costs at the moment, but I think tossing a more realistic number to the public is better than saying “26 billion” on an insurance estimate. They need to understand the scope of this. It’s not like other hurricane damage in recent history.

We are all already paying for this, and hard. Gas prices in one day flew from 2.49 to 3.09 at nearby Shell. I’d like to see some of those recent obscene profits the oil companies have been banking in the past year to go to help these poor people.

As to the comment about the looting. If you were in the same situation, you would have done the same. (for food and supplies, not the jewelry stores and crap) But the food (and even the beer) we see people looting while wading in waist deep water — good, take it. I’m not about to judge them when I’m sitting here comfy and safe with electricy and telephone and internet, drinking my ice cold Sam Adams.

I’m not going to play any politics on this disaster at and we should be all together on this one at this time.

bill- I recently saw a short list of reputable organizations that deal with saving/caring-for pets in after a disaster. I’ll post later if I find it.

7-Who thinks of that Fred:roll: These people have gone through a horrific expirience. The last thing I am thinking of is what it will cost. You can’t put a price on the life of the people lost.

Gang members looting with guns and the cops can’t do anything? isn’t that funny? no jails no court and many killed no food and the good thing is the national guard just got back from Iraq, good for the guys and girls in the guard.

by the way this will cost each one of you a hell of a lot, 800 billion and more.:sad:

The American Red Cross is pretty good, it is the International Red Cross that you have to be careful with.
