$17 in direct aid and a $33 billion "amendment".

And don't forget the $9 billion for the flood insurance bailout done earlier.

But we are approaching the ridiculous here with the pork because now the pork overtakes the real spending. Less than 1/2 of that bill goes to direct disaster spending.

Is that the new Con talking point? Don't bother yourselves with the details, especially when those totals are actually false. But you keep believing in them, they fit in with your hyperbole.

Exactly what was the pork spending for in the bill and for how much?

Does it matter? Most of the pork was removed by the time it was signed.
