38. They purposely set the bar too high -
"When it became clear that homeowners, who had to meet specific criteria on damage and insurance, would not tap all of the grant money, Barbour instructed the state development agency to seek a waiver from HUD to redirect $600 million for work on the port."

This is like giving someone $20 to feed their starving family, the parents set a criteria of boys only, spend $10, then ask if they can spend the rest on cigarettes. Pay no attention to the hungry daughters, they didn't meet the criteria.
