48. More details in above link--not QUITE so cheap

The economic aid includes $100,000 each that was immediately sent to India, Indonesia, the Maldives and Sri Lanka, and U.S. officials were discussing an additional $4 million contribution to help Red Cross disaster efforts.

So, there were several $100,000 contributions. And we may siphon more through the Red Cross--it's being "discussed" while other countries are rushing forward with help.

Meanwhile, planning for Bush's Inauguration continues. Currently, the estimated cost exceeds $40,000,000. Much will be raised from his contributors (& you know they will be "reimbursed".)

Just to keep things in perspective.
