(The total was projected by Eqecat, a catastrophic risk management consulting firm, which indicated that the damage caused by the storm was between $30-$50 billion.)

That combined COST nearly ) $1 trillion in written off losses due to the WORST Hurricane SEASONS in history![/U][/B]
The worst Katrina,made landfall in Louisiana as a Category 3 in 2005. It took 1,836 lives and caused $81.2 billion in damages.
Hurricane Katrina ALONE! Year 2005: Hurricanes Katrina and Rita
On August 25, 2005, Hurricane Katrina hit the Gulf Coast of the U.S. as a strong Category 3 or low Category 4 storm. It quickly became the biggest natural disaster in U.S. history, almost destroying New Orleans due to severe flooding.
Hurricane Rita quickly followed Katrina only to make matters worse. Between the two, more than $200 billion in damage was done. 400,000 jobs were lost and 275,000 homes were destroyed.
Many of the jobs and homes were never to be recovered. Hundreds of thousands of people were displaced and over 1,000's were killed and more are missing.
The effect on oil and gasoline prices was long-lasting.

YEA poor Obama has really faced a lot more then Bush!
Let's see Sandy damages $70 billion Sandy caused two deaths.

YUP poor Obama how can anyone compare his catastrophes say like what Bush faced!

6 of the worst hurricane catastrophes in history... 1,000s of deaths! Trillions of dollars in damages, 275,000 homes in Katrina alone destroyed!
Number 3 on the list of most catastrophic and far far WORSE THEN Pearl Harbor..
Counting the value of 3,000 lives lost as well as property damage and lost production of goods and services, losses already exceed $100 billion.
Including the loss in stock market wealth -- the market's own estimate arising from expectations of lower corporate profits and higher discount rates for economic volatility -- the price tag approaches $2 trillion.
The Cost of September 11

YEA POOR Obama!!!

What made Katrina so bad was the worst hit area was under (D) control and they dropped the ball on so many levels in that state.

Had the (D)'s in that state done their jobs properly things would have been a lot different..

Yet the far left here will give those criminals a pass so they can blame: Boooooosssshhh!

Let's see... Former mayor Ray Nagin, the businessman-turned-politician who became the worldwide face of the city after Hurricane Katrina, was sentenced to 10 years in prison Wednesday.

Nagin was a Democrat and also this "I'm not telling you that President Bush was a racist or what have you. But I think race and class and politics played in just about every aspect of this disaster."

Co-host Matt Lauer claimed that Nagin was "very honest and open" in the book, at least in his ability to "blame President Bush, FEMA Director Michael Brown and others for slow federal response."

Commodity price inflation from increasing deficit spending far outpaced any GDP increase. GDP only grew in terms of dollars, not product. Stagnant pay, massive job loss & soaring price, exploding size of government is what Bush created.

Bush cost us 18 million jobs, tripled prices, stagnate wages unless you were a government employee, their wages soared. Standard of living declined due to high prices, deregulation theft of savings investment, outsourcing, immigration & stagnant wages.

And the far left propaganda and talking points comes gushing out...

But then again judging by the far left on this board, one might think that Bush was still president..

Sorry you believe facts are far left propaganda. Could show us where these "propaganda" "talking points" came from?

Fact Oil consumption in the USA dropped for the first time in 2005 simply because everything was so expensive that people simply could not afford to put gas in the tank. It does not matter if some GDP number goes up a few percent if price inflation far exceeds pay & the majority of the populations living standards plummet.

The consumption decline halted in 2009 when Obama took office.

Okay, so if Bush was faced with repeated external, uncontrollable events causing losses of hundreds of billions in tax revenues,

why did he repeatedly cut taxes and exacerbate the revenue problem his administration already knew they had?

Cutting taxes puts more money into the hands of the taxpayers and they spend it. When they spend it, the economy improves and more people get jobs or at the least, they keep the one they have.

The revenue problem the government had was because they continued spending more than they collected.

Average gas cost when Obama took office was $1.58. In Jan. 2010 the average price of a gallon of gas was about 2.65. and up to $3.05 in 2011. That does make your graph accurate using gas as the determining factor.

If your point is inflation caused the consumption drop in gas use, show me the inflation graph.

Of course a few points up or down in the GDP means the loss or gain of jobs and billions of dollars loss or gain in income.
