Katrina Krapola-Enough Already

It's been over 2 years since Hurricane Katrina side-swiped The Big Nasty.

More than $127 billion has already been taken out of taxpayers' pockets to rebuild Mayor Idiot Nagin's below-sea level-Chocolate city.

"On a per person basis that comes to $425,000 for each of the 300,000 fools still living in that pulsating pustule on the bayou."

Now Louisiana Senator Mary Landrieu wants another $250 billion.

For what? Where did the first $127 billion go?

Lawrence Kudlow:

Well, the White House fact sheet says $24 billion has been used to build houses and schools, repair damaged infrastructure and provide victims with a place to live. But isn't everyone complaining about the lack of housing.

The fact sheet goes on to say that $7.1 billion went to the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers to rebuild the levees; that the U.S. Department of Education spent $2 billion on local schools; and that the Laura Bush Foundation for America's Libraries has awarded more than $2.5 million (the pikers). The administration also provided $16.7 billion as part of the largest housing-recovery program in U.S. history.

So the billion-dollar question becomes: Where did the rest of that money go?
Think of this: The idea of using federal money to rebuild cities is the quintessential liberal vision. And given the dreadful results in New Orleans, we can say that the government's $127 billion check represents the quintessential failure of that liberal vision.

Hillary Clinton calls this sort of reckless spending "government investment".

And that's just what's in store for America if she wins the White House next year.
