The department has increased that ceiling to roughly $27 billion, an increase of about $17 billion.The nearly $27 billion figure discussed repeatedly during Wednesday’s hearing is not money VA has already spent.

There is a big difference between reading a survival blog and actually living through a disaster. You may have all the highest-rated gear, or shelves filled with top freeze-dried meals, but you have no way of knowing what really works.
