How much is the military spending each day. That number doesn't mean much. The whole region that Katrina hit is devastated. BellSouth says its phone system is down. Trees are blocking highways. Underpasses are flooded.
If $500 million was being spent per day on Katrina , as FEMA claims, what exactly is being done? Wouldn't we see something more than what we are seeing and what the reporters are reporting?
We all know the US government spends mega-billions on the Dept of Education and we have zero return on investment there, and we know the US government has spent $405 billion on the Dept of Energy since 1978, and we are more dependent on foreign oil today than in 1978.
The question is why does it cost $500 million to have few helicopters and a handful of FEMA spokesmen doing TV interviews? Why is it so costly to do relatively little, or nothing in the case of the Depts of Education and Energy?
Many here a tFR cliam that the government is too gunked up and fat to get anything done and this claim by FEMA of $500 million per day adds to that arguement.
I value your opinion and hope you value mine.
