I can barely believe my eyes and ears when hearing we are now being asked as a country to fork over gargantuan billions of dollars to Louisiana FOR THEIR CONTROL AND DISPENSATION, without so much as a receipt and/or documentation as to how it's spent.

I think the Presdient was proposing exactly they opposite, and the Louisiana delegation was fussing about that. The LA folks want the money with no strings and the President isn't playing.

The LA folks want the money with no strings

Fool me once, shame on you.
Fool me twice, shame on me.
Fool me three times, shame on me.
Fool me four times, shame on me.
Fool me five times, shame on me.
Fool me six times, shame on me.
Fool me seven times, shame on me.
Fool me eight times, shame on me.
Fool me nine times, shame on me.
Fool me ten times, shame on me.
....
Fool me eighty-seven million, two hundred and fifteen thousand, seven hundred and twenty-nine times, shame on me.

Yes, I know that, I thought that's what I wrote: Louisiana is asking for control exclusively as to how the money is dispensed.
