There is an interesting return of events. I read that Bush and Cheney were on their way to CA early in the week. Obviously it wasn't to help. If they can get more money in route to CA then they can have more to siphon off. A typical scenario was Katrina. Find below how much moneys were slated for the area. If you read further on the site http://www.cooperativeresearch.org/timeline.jsp?timeline=hurricane_katrina_tmln&katrina_period=katrina_preKatrina under the Katrina subheading you will
see that the powers that be didn't give this money to the aid of Katrina when there was a disaster.

The State of Louisiana, the US Army Corps of Engineers, federal
agencies, local governments, academics, and local community groups work
together to develop a comprehensive restoration plan aimed at
rebuilding Louisiana’s coastal wetlands. The plan, named “Coast 2050:
Toward a Sustainable Coast,” outlines more than 80 restoration concepts
that will serve as the basis for the more technical “Louisiana Coastal
Area (LCA) Comprehensive Coastwide Study” that will eventually be
submitted to the White House in 2004 (see October 2003).
The Coast 2050 plan is a direct outgrowth of lessons learned from
implementation of restoration projects under the Breaux Act (see November 29, 1990)
and reflects a growing recognition that a more comprehensive systemic
approach is needed. It is estimated that the Coast 2050 plan would cost
$14 billion over the next 30 years to implement and require an annual
budget of $470 million.
