This aid is a bite much. Your questions are the same as mine. Help but don't spend billions. This money should come from donations, not taxpayers. Obama is working on his ‘legacy’. Thousands of troops, an aircraft carrier, and who knows what else. I wonder how much does it cost to run an aircraft carrier for an hour?

“I wonder how much does it cost to run an aircraft carrier for an hour?”

You’re kidding, right? Just the food costs alone for the crew for 3 squares plus “Mid-Rats” run well over $75K. And your paying for the JP-5 for the choppers, crew payroll, fuel for the escorts that are not nuclear powered, etc, etc, etc...

And that’s not saying ANYTHING for the MRE’s and pallets of water, basic medical supplies,...............

You’re talking a good $500,000,000.00 per day.

Now, lets talk about the USNS Comfort and the Amphib that’s going to be down there.....that’s an even bigger amount.

Obama will use this tragedy to advance his political career using taxpayers money. This scum is digging thru the bottom. Never has a more despicable tyrant existed on US shores. Bush was beheaded by the old media during Katrina while BO will be exalted by the same corrupt old media.
