Not if Landrieu gets her way. Did you see her whining and b!tching today on the Senate floor? Those crooks in power in LA won't quit even if they got the whole 150B to themselves.

The federal government's tab for hurricane relief and rebuilding efforts is likely to cost less than $150 billion, Congress' top budget analyst said Thursday

The American taxpayer's tab for hurricane relief, giving money to those people who didn't insure their properties, corruption donations and vote buying is likely to cost less than $150,000,000,000.00 Congress' top budget analyst said Thursday...

There, I fixed the first phrase in the article for you.

Yeah, but Mary Landrieu and her RINO pal (Vetter) want a full $250 billion just for LA. Not saying they'll get it, but that's what they're pushing for....

Government's tab Taxpayer money to be spent on hurricane relief will be below $150 billion, Congress told.

There. I fixed it. I really don't like it when folks pretend like government has money of their own.

So rebuilding $70 to 130 billion in damage will only end up costing us the 62 billion of immediate federal relief, 40 billion of private insurance, and an additional 150 billion federal dollars later.

What a deal!

Correction ===> "The US TAXPAYERS tab for hurricane relief and rebuilding efforts is likely to cost less than $150 billion"

TAXPAYERS PAY THE TAB

not the "government".

Once again, taxpayers have a gun to their head and are being forced to fork over billions of dollars, a large percent of which will go to welfare groupies who have been in the cart we have been pulling for decades.

The masters are making the slaves pay up again.
