After September 11, the federal government set aside $5 billion for victim´s families and agreed to spend over $21 billion to help New York recover
Add the new $50 billion to the money New York got after 9-11 and it has received over 70 BILLION additional dollars from the federal government since 9-11.
So basically... Tropical Storm Sandy supposedly inflicted over twice as much damage to New York and the surrounding areas than 9-11 ...
lol

we are being robbed.
RE: we are being robbed.
Texas (among others) has been robbed. We (in NY) get the money :)
This is Obama’s world — REDISTRIBUTION.
Don’t worry, you’ll get it back if (God forbid) a hurricane strikes you. :)
