That money would be better spent making the Levees in New Orleans the best in the world, paying School Teachers atleast $60,000 a year,etc

Some might argue that would be just as much a waste of money. Who knows when a 200mph hurricane hits NOLA and will paying a teacher $60,000.00 really improve test scores? there is always something "better" to spend the money on. Just depends on who you are asking.
