Thats less that the marxist in chief has spent going on vacations this year.
That figure seems way off.
I am convinced that many people who write for a living are numbers-challenged. One sounds so much like another, don’cha know! Part of the reason why “trillion” does not have the teeth-jarring, neck-snapping effect that any “N-word” seems to have, for instance.
From the Yahoo article:
“former top FEMA official Mark Merritt, president of the disaster consulting firm James Lee Witt Associates, says, “It’s an economic issue. It’s one of those things that feeds on each other.”
For the record, because we all know that the relief efforts will be compared to Bush/Katrina responses:
James Lee Witt was the Clinton FEMA head who advised Louisiana Gov. Blanco not to ask that the Katrina response be federalized; thus delaying for at least 24 hours the presence of many military rescue teams and efforts. He sabotaged the Administration initial response in the interest of democrat politics. But he stays a multi-millionaire authority on disaster response, instead of having a name as disparaged as “Brownie’s”.
“That figure seems way off.”
Just Google “U.S. aid to Haiti”. It’s MUCH more than that.
