Follow the money?

According to a "White House fact sheet" (cited in Forbes magazine and Kudlow & Company, but I don't have a copy...), the gummint has spent $114 billion plus tax relief of another $13 billion on Gulf area hurricane relief.

That doesn't seem to include insurance payoffs or private charities such as the Red Cross.

What do we have to show for it?

Sounds like this thing here: Fact Sheet: The Two-Year Anniversary of Hurricane Katrina. Which contains Many Capitalized Words In Bold Font.

And, apparently, a restaurant reopening in a couple of weeks.

BTW, that $114 billion figure hasn't actually been spent yet. "Over $96 Billion Of The $114 Billion (84 Percent) Either Has Been Disbursed Or Is Available For States To Draw From."

Just as important (based on the level of emphasis and proportion of text allocated), "Since The Gulf Coast School Library Recovery Initiative Began In May 2006, The Laura Bush Foundation For America's Libraries Has Awarded More Than $2.5 Million To 54 Gulf Coast Schools."

Cynical? Me? Heavens forfend.

A whole lot of well-lined pockets on high-level company execs. The people that money was actually intended to help? Oh, they can eat cake.
