While this thought is still fresh in our brain, let's take a look at New
Orleans It's amazing what you ca n learn wit h some simple division . ..

Louisiana Senator, Mary Landrieu (D), is presently asking the Congress
for $250 BILLIONto rebuild New Orleans . Interesting number, what does
it mean?

A. Well, if you are one of 484,674 residents of
New Orleans (every man, woman, child), you
each get $516,528.

B. Or, if you have one of the 188,251 homes in
New Orleans , your home gets $1,329,787.

C. Or, if you are a family of four, your family
gets $2,066,012.

Washington, D.C .. HELLO!!! ... Are all your calculators broken??

Amusing, however a city consists of far more than residences... Little
things like schools, hospitals, city maintenance facilities, public
transit system, sewage treatment plants, water treatment plants, refuse
collection facilities, parks, sports fields, town halls, police
stations, jails, courthouses, etc.
