The federal government does not pay to defend New York state against Lyme disease or New York City against terrorist attack. So it is a question why it is a federal duty to pay for measures to protect or repair New Orleans from local storms.
The economist's answer is that a disrupted New Orleans has external costs on the farmers upriver and the producers everywhere who depend heavily on the city's great port to ship grain. At likely levels, New York's Lyme disease does not threaten the rest of the nation. Protecting Wall Street ranks high on that external cost test, but not high enough in the estimation of Congress. It is a matter of degree.
