Louisiana's Looters

WaPo issues a blistering editorial of Louisiana's "request for $250 billion in federal reconstruction funds for Louisiana alone -- more than $50,000 per person in the state".

"Like looters who seize six televisions when their homes have room for only two, the Louisiana legislators are out to grab more federal cash than they could possibly spend usefully."

The Louisiana bill is "preposterous".

But, it explains that looting in Louisiana is not limited to poor folks in the 9th ward, or New Orleans cops who watch and participate in looting, but extends all the way to the state house.
