The Reality of 1 Million Refugees

Well, if this is right:

About 15,000 people have been evacuated to Houston's Astrodome, which officials say is filled to capacity. Two other shelters were opened nearby that can hold an estimated 26,000 people

Then the estimated cost (below) of $1 million per week for meals in Houston, just went up by about 50%. And with the counties and the "private charities" being forced to front that cost (also below), or carry it altogether, this is going to get real expensive, real fast.

Maybe we can contract the whole thing out to Halliburton. They seem to have a pipeline to Federal money.
