$30 billion for reconstruction, nearly $9 billion of it unaccounted for. bah. chump change. that’s $100 per american citizen [$29, if you’re only counting the unaccounted for]. i can afford to give that to a few sleazy jerks who are just out to make a buck. [/7]
on the other hand, that would have got us halfway to the estimated $56.5 million needed to pay for schip and medicaid for every currently uninsured child and pregnant woman in this country for the next five years.
i’m not sure if i’m more mad or depressed.
