The initial #s (15 or 35M) was the single year emergency budget for some obscure government relief agency. They announced immediately that their entire emergency fund for the year would go to this disaster. That's all, it was never meant to be the US govt's entire contribution. But, fools all around the world who just can't wait to slam our country (or more likely our Pres) latched onto it as a sign of American indifference. Anyone making such statement merely exposes their own motives & ignorance.
Like Scott said, it's 350M now. Colin Powel has said it'll probably be in the billions when all is said and done. And let's not forget the cost of the entire carrier battle group and marine expenditionary brigade that on on site aiding the relief efforts.
