Abandoned City

Peruse this blog from members of the House Democratic Caucus who are touring the Gulf Coast, and ask yourself: 1) why have some of these representatives not known about this devastation beforehand, 2) why have we as a nation let an entire section of the country crumble into ruin without offering a hand to these people to lift them up, and 3) why isn't this generating more attention than the fact that a few people threw beads and drank hurricanes on Bourbon Street this week?
