I can't know the full budgetary details, but I don't imagine New York, New Jersey, and Connecticut can just cause tens of billions of dollars to appear magically. At some point their ability to do necessary things will be curtailed by the destruction of Sandy.
And there's a very real chance this Congress will do absolutely nothing, though FEMA will provide some aid.
Fortunately, they're working hard on the deficit 30 years from now, so all's good.
