Numbers

17 months since Katrina
HUD has spent $1.7 billion of the $17 billion authorized
FEMA has spent $25.4 billion of the $42 billion authorized
The Corps of Engineers has spent $1.3 billion of the $5.8 billion authorized.

What's wrong with this picture?

A residue of $36.4 billion, if my arithmetic is correct? Who's collecting the interest from that sum, I wonder?
