Okay...let's say the numbers are off by a factor of 100. The fact remains, the request was made by a senator and some people--especially in NOLA--are going to take it seriously. My point is still that there should not be one dollar of my money paid to someone who built a house 6 feet below sea level and wasn't smart enough to insure it. Again...not my problem and, hence, it shouldn't use my money.

I gave, and I gave a lot more than my budget should have allowed.
I'm still listening to that dumba$$ mayor talking about how nobody did anything for New Orleans. I'm offended and I'm insulted.
They won't get another dime out of me and I have already e-mailed my congressmen asking them to not give any more of my tax dollars to that sinking mess.
They all got their hand out but they have to bring in Mexicans to rebuild their own city. That should tell everyone that they only want free money!!!!
WORK is a four letter word for the chocolate population of New Orleans!!!!

Once you willingly gave it to the IRS, it stopped being "your" money.
