New Orleans was stricken with poverty to begin with, which means the flood took literally everything that most of them had. Talk about pushing someone to a breaking point...this caused looting, panic, and a lot of suicides.

Though the fires in Southern CA will ruin many peoples lives, there are a considerable amount of people who have insurance on their homes and things, so they will be able to have a home again, etc. Obviously I am not attempting to discount their pain, at ALL, but many people in New Orleans will never live above the poverty line, let alone have a house.

As for nothing being done....I honestly don't think Bush cares enough and I don't think there are enough political people calling him out on it because they don't either.
