Saw this item in the Dallas Morning Fishwrap.
Just Divvy It Up
Then it struck me. That final number in the story!
That figure of taxpayer dollars that has flown to New Orleans is $126,000,000,000.
Since the population of NO at the time of Katrina was a shade under 400,000 that means they could have simply dispensed $315,000.00 to every man, woman and child in town!
And, they keep saying the aid has been botched...
I know I could cope with relocation quite comfortably with that amount.

While the welfare-state will grind forward nonetheless, I feel compelled to correct: That aid went to "the Gulf coast region", not ALL to New Orleans.
