blzrul Posted January 19, 2010 Posted January 19, 2010 By September 5, 2005, the feds had approved $62 billion for New Orleans. Search as I might, I didn't find anyone screaming about doing that without asking taxpayers. $100m is really a token amount.
Jim in Anchorage Posted January 19, 2010 Posted January 19, 2010 By September 5, 2005, the feds had approved $62 billion for New Orleans. Search as I might, I didn't find anyone screaming about doing that without asking taxpayers. $100m is really a token amount. When are you going to get rid of the Bush/recession/War/Graft/GOP thing? You are a pathetic caricature of yourself in your glory days when the Republicans where to blame for everything.
DC Tom Posted January 19, 2010 Posted January 19, 2010 $100m is really a token amount. Not in Haiti, it's not. Actual government expenditures are substantially more, anyway. You don't take over an airport, run an airlift, and park a carrier off the coast for pennies - most of which isn't going to be counted as aid, dollar-wise, since it's coming out of DoD's operating budget.

Your stupid uncalled-for personal attack highlights why my tagline is still relevant. Go pee up a rope.
uncle_chappy Posted January 19, 2010 Author Posted January 19, 2010 how much do you want to bet that thousands of these "refugees" end up relocating to swing states.

Before the earthquake, it wasn't. But $100m now is definitely a drop in the bucket.
DC Tom Posted January 19, 2010 Posted January 19, 2010 Before the earthquake, it wasn't. But $100m now is definitely a drop in the bucket. I disagree. Haiti is such an ass-backwards hellhole of a banana republic, that you could probably rebuild all of Port-au-Prince for merely twice that. I think you're conflating the $100M of fiscal aid to Haiti with the monetary value of the direct physical aid being provided, which is substantially more. Evil B word snake woman.
/dev/null Posted January 19, 2010 Posted January 19, 2010 We're going to need more than $100M for the occupation that Hugo Chavez and our allies the French are accusing us of

ExiledInIllinois Posted January 20, 2010 Posted January 20, 2010 Articles titled, "Week after Quake, Aid Elusive" Where are all the threads saying, "Obama hates black people!" Have you noticed, Haiti isn't in our country. Big, big difference between NOLA. I gave my 20 bucks in the church basket this past Sunday. Ya, I feel sad... There is only so muc we can do... Now if Haiti (that is moneywise) was a state or such...
