the cost of the rocks to close the MRGO
 

interesting if you ask me.

learned something in class

what is the cost?

guess

guess sent out there

I said 16:eek:

ZERO...........

zero?

the actual rocks were zero dollars to tell ya the truth...the rocks came from 14 miles down the MRGO..they dreged and collected a half mile of rocks at the end of the long rocks on th MRGO and thats were the rocks came from...as far as expenses i couldn tell ya i imagine its alot though..i watched it happen day by day..and hated them closing it more and more..it wont help anything when it all boils down to it...

sorry, thats what i meant, the rocks were free i know. but guess the cost of the project

so was it 23 mill..i think i remember glenn throwing that number out there one morning...but im not sure..

want the real answer now?

yupp.

1.5 billion


yes 1.5 billion

wonder how much of that is in someones freezer or in a gold plated back-hoe

wasteful spending at its finest

wow...wow...wow...1.5 billion...geeez...bruh..they coulda just gave me 1 million and 2 years and saved about 1.4 billion dollars..i coulda did that with a welded up barge and POS excavater....well atleast the placing of the rocks anyways..maybe not the collecting and dredging..

exactly what i was thinking hh

Their is no way it cost that! Yakem, what's the story on this?

This is what my professor told me was the cost of the first phase in removing the funnel effect that flooded the st bernard area

I just can't understand how our government works. I work in the oilfield and if we can erect a whole production facility in inland waters for uner a mil, then the Corps should be able to move some rocks for less than a million!

Exactly. All they did was move rocks. Not haul them in

one guy tried to argue that coastal zone permits are expensive. And I was like Ive done permitting and know what it costs and it's not 1 billion dollars

and people want to give the government more responsibility and power, good idea!
