I am irked by the fact that Stimulus money was spend on "important" things like ant study and not on things for people. Schools, books computers levees. Thing that will have a lasting benefit for humans like the CCC projects.

We are still benefiting from the CCC and enjoying things that would be unaffordable today.

The Army Corps decided it was "not worth" fixing the levees that failed be cause the parishes were sparsely populated.

But we know more about ants now and the turtles are happier, more so than the people that lost everything they had.

" As the cleanup began Friday, an old debate grew more urgent: Is it worth billions of dollars to build better levees in areas that are sparsely populated and naturally flood-prone?

Since Hurricane Katrina in 2005, the Army Corps of Engineers has backed away from the idea of extending protection across much of south Louisiana, citing doubts about whether improved levees would work and whether the money could be better spent elsewhere.[like ant studies]"
