Iran is getting 300b.

I wonder what that amount of money would do for LA.

There's 1.8mil households in LA. That gives each house $166,666.


State budget is $47b. Give that money to the govnt, a lot of crooks going get rich.

I just would love to see LA prosper.

There’s no amount of money that would fix Louisianastan. It would all get stolen before it ever did anything positive.

It would help greatly. All you have to do is convince the Gulf States to hand it over. Oh, and give them something in return.

Yes, if they used it correctly.

Don't bet on them doing that though.

Well, maybe if you can get countries from the Middle East to send us $300 billion to abandon building nukes like they are Iran, we could find out.

ETA: Trump said it isn't true, but he typed million instead of billion

About 100 people would get 3 billion each & Louisiana would keep on Louisianaing.

Unless you used it to move out a majority of the population and bring in replacements, no amount of money can fix it.

Could move a lot of dirt and rocks for coastal restoration with that.

No amount.

We have entirely too many uneducated or crooked folks within the government in all parishes.

Not opinion. Fact.

I’ve witnessed this with my own eyes at 3 parishes.

All the same, just different last names.

$1,000 per person in the USA. I’d rather not pay for this.

The way to “fix” Louisiana is to literally fix most all Louisianans.

Like you fix a dog.

If you gave every Louisiana citizen (adults & children) each $167k, in two years 90+% of them would be in worse financial condition than they presently are today.

The masses are truly asses.

Do you remember when riverboat casinos were approved, politicians promoted them as a way to generate money for schools, roads, and other state services without raising taxes? We are last in everything. The politicians would 100% steal it like they do everything else

The only way this works is if they spend that 300 billion to move certain residents out of the state

There are some democrats here that would rather this money go to the Southern Poverty Law Center so they could finance riots.

You'd have to spend another 300bil on auditors to keep up with the politicians stealing the original 300bil.

They must have forgotten all of the Escalades in the Lower Ninth Ward after Katrina. Damndest thing I ever seen was all the fancy cars in the driveways of flooded and damaged houses in early 2006.
