My point was to make a contrast between a $250 million grant to Con Ed, which, like NYC was in good physical and financial shape, and the WH's refusal to make the same grant to Entergy-NO, whose infrastructure was devastated and is now in bankruptcy.

And my point is that your choice to argue "need" is not likely to prevail. I'm not trying to delegitimize your feelings or your reaction, only give you a (unsolicited and probably unwanted <g>) sounding board on strategy.

I think 9/11 set a precedent, but the WH doesn't think so.

I think it set a precedent, too, but not as broad a one as you. I think it sets a precedent for enemy sneak attacks. Next dramatic sneak attack, if it happens, the victims will be able to claim precedent, methinks. The precedent for hurricanes and floods is a different one.
