The current cost of the 'endeavour' in Iraq to the U.S. is $5 billion/month.
Total Cost to date: $320 Billion
So, in my math, that means the flood defense programs being asked for in New Orleans would have taken mere days worth of budget for Iraq.
Governor Blanco this year had asked for $105 million dollars for levee improvements, but the oh-so-generous Dubya thought it best to cut that figure to $40 million.
But there was no chance that there would be any flooding problem, surely?
Oh, wait a moment... what did you say?
