Politics / News Post-Tornado Brooklyn Declared a Disaster Area; Brooklynites Trumpet the Arrival of Terrible, Terrible Federal Aid

On a somewhat related note, President Obama has declared Brooklyn a federal disaster area [high-fives all around] following last month's tornado. Some 75% of the $27 million the city spent to recover from damage will be paid by the feds; there's no word yet on whether individuals and businesses affected by the tornado will similarly be eligible for federal monies. Though I assume many who're eligible would simply reject this sort of socialism out of hand.,
