From "Bush to Request More Aid Funding":
The president will call on Washington to resist spending money unwisely, but some in his own party are already starting to recoil at a price tag expected to exceed $200 billion -- about the cost of the Iraq war and reconstruction efforts. As emergency expenditures soar -- with new commitments as high as $2 billion a day -- some budget analysts and conservative groups are warning that the Katrina spending has combined with earlier fiscal decisions in ways that will wreak havoc on the government's finances for years to come.
Not even sailors with alcohol poisoning spend like Bush wants to spend. I wonder how much of that will be pork, and how much of it will be "spillage" to various officials in what is reputedly the most corrupt state in the union.
