In reference to spending on the recovery:
“I don’t know. That doesn’t make sense to me.”
And…
“It looks like a lot of that place could be bulldozed,”
Though he later balked on advocating the relocation of the city, Hastert remains on the list due to his importance as a member of the U.S. Congress.

Only a sadist would insist on resurrecting this concentration of poverty, crime, and deplorable schools. Yet that’s what New Orleans’ cheerleaders—both natives and beignet-eating tourists—are advocating. They predict that once they drain the water and scrub the city clean, they’ll restore New Orleans to its former “glory.”

But it would be a mistake to raise the American Atlantis. It’s gone.
