Katrina: what could we do with $456,278,478,000?
By WDavidStephenson | August 29, 2007
Too depressed over 
this anniversary to write much. I can’t get accurate numbers for what has been spent and will be spent eventually to rebuild the Gulf Coast, but as of an hour or so ago, the National Priorities Project estimated we’ve spent $456,278,478,000 in Iraq (it’s hard to get an accurate estimate because the numbers mount so rapidly every minute…). Can’t help wondering how much farther along the rebuilding would be, how much more could be spent to improve public education, insure the 43 million Americans without health insurance, ad nauseum if those bucks were being spent here. Great legacy you’re leaving, George.
