2nd reply Louisiana Senator, Mary Landrieu (D) is presently asking Congress for 250 BILLION DOLLARS to rebuild New Orleans . Interesting number.... what does it mean? A. Well... if you are one of the 484,674 residents of NewOrleans (every man, woman, and child) you each get $516,528. THAT FIGURE SHOULD BE $515,801.00 (The writer is off by about a thousand dollars) NOTE THE FOLLOWING: You are dividing as follows: 250 Billion(not millions) or as follows--- 250,000,000,000 divided by 484,674 equals $515,801. IF YOU WERE DIVIDING USING MILLIONS THE FIGURE YOU GAVE WOULD BE CORRECT AND WOULD LOOK LIKE THIS: 2,500,000,000 (OR 2 and 1/2 Billion you would get the $5,158.
