2. If you going to give money away
Why not use it to reconstruct N.O
8 Billions will go a long way to help the poor citizens of N.O get back on their feet.
8 Billions in tax breaks to businesses making profit already earned just make shareholders richer.

Help those who need help not those who are perfectly capable of getting back on their feet themselves.

It is not possible for N.O to reconstruct. They don't have the income. Just not enough citizens with income to tax. And now a rule to give away a potential 8 billions that is so badly need for reconstruction.

How much of those 8 billions will be enjoyed by N.O businesses and how much of it will be creative accounting enjoyed by businesses out of N.O.

Will it be like the 8 billions that disappear in Iraq. With no explanations.

What kind of future you are reconstructing for the children of tomorrow?
