Spend it well, not wildly
More reason why money has to be spent wisely:
Michael Grunwald writes in the Washington Post that Louisiana has received more U.S. Army Corps of Engineers money during the Bush administration than any other state -- but much of the $1.9 billion over five years was spent on questionable projects, sometimes at the direction of the state's congressional delegation.

Imagine $150 billion dollars flowing through the hands of the Louisiana Democratic party hands before it reaches the victims. It boggles the mind.

I'm more worried about mismanagement than malfeasance, but you can't rule anything out.

doug,
We're talking about Louisiana here. Do you know the history of politics in that state? It has a record of corrupt politicians, so why wouldn't you be worried about malfeasance? We are talking about $150 billion here. That's with a "B". Corrupt politicans get really excited when there's billions of dollars to be had for the taking.
