Bush Administration | Iraq | Katrina
Or, another reason Republicans are going to suffer at the polls in 2006:
The Bush administration said yesterday that the cost of rebuilding New Orleans's levees to federal standards has nearly tripled to $10 billion and that there may not be enough money to fully protect the entire region.
Monthly cost of the Iraq war to U.S. taxpayers: $5.8 billion.
If we weren't in Iraq, the savings could pay for the levee rebuilding in seven weeks.
