Tsunami - Is 1% of the Aid Given To Florida Hurricane Too Much?

[taquinas101]

After all, the federal government pledged about $12 billion in aid for the hurricanes that hit the gulf/atlantic area. 1% is $120 million. Of course, perhaps Bush is thinking that the tidal wave did not hit any red states. Thus, the U.S.'s initial pledge of aid is about 0.1% of the disaster relief the U.S. spent on the hurricanes.

I am almost afraid to hear or read Rush Limbaugh and company talk about their outrage over the outrage about the stinginess of the U.S. Perhaps they will complain "Where were the offers of international aid when the U.S. was being hit with the hurricanes?"
