$14B to rebuild America's coastline

It will cost $14 billion over 10 years to rebuild America's coastline. That's a little over two years worth of royalties that the federal government collects from drilling off our coast, which is made possible by Louisiana's infrastructure. It's time we demand our fair share of this money to rebuild our coastline and restore our wetlands. No more meetings. No more committees. No more task forces. No more begging for crumbs. This would not be happening in California or Florida or New Jersey, because their citizens would not tolerate it. We should not either.
