There's nothing more American than a bloated, out-of-control lawsuit, is there? The latest example. The City of New Orleans leveling a $77 BILLION dollar claim against the Army Corps of Engineers for the damage inflicted by Hurricane Katrina.
Now some may not see the silliness of this outrageous sum. But factor in this boneheaded statement by the idiot Mayor (Ray Naggin) who they re-elected: The city "looked at everything and just kind of piled it on." Great...nothing like the head of the city letting all the U.S. taxpayers know the N.O. essentially wants to take us to the cleaners, "just for the hell of it." And make no mistake, it won't be the ACoE that pays, it'll be us....
I have some sympathy for the plight of those affected by that awful storm, but it does not extend to frivolous lawsuits...
