So where is the rest of the $51 billion going?
It's suppose to be Hurricane relief money. But if they are only going to give out the $2,000 debit cards which account for less than a billion of that budget, what's the other money going towards?

You loving this compassionate conservatism yet?

3. Halliburton
They already have the contract to build "GumboLand," a fabulous new gambling resort built over the ruins of New Orleans.

4. It's a recycled joke but,
when we write the check, we need to remember that there are two LLs in halliburton.

5. Awright...I'll rephrase that... :P
When the budget passed, do they have, on paper, set amounts of where this money will go?
