It is estimated that to rebuild New Orleans would cost in excess of

If the government should decide to fund the rebuilding of New
Orleans then there is no reason they shouldn't fund the metrication
of the US which would be more beneficial to the citizens. I'm
looking for opinions as to what would be a better allocation of
money and resources.
Aside from the astounding insensitivity of your post, the fact is
that money is not and never has been the barrier to metrication in
this country.
Thinking a few billion dollars of money taken from the tax payer can
metricate the USA is sheer nonsense.
