Write your congressional representative

How to pay for New Orleans ...

Two places to start: Repeal the $12.3 billion energy bill and the $286 billion transportation bill.

That's right. Repeal them. Save that money.

The energy and transportation bills fulfill some genuine needs, but they largely stand out as virtual encyclopedias of federal spending run amok on projects of marginal or no use, created and funded to favor special interests.

So I wrote my reps:

How to pay for New Orleans? Repeal the $12.3 billion energy bill and the $286 billion transportation bill.

Have a little courage!
