Totally heartless, love those family values, do unto others....
Sorry about your town but helping you does not get me re-elected, if only you were a corporation or a 6 digit donor then I could help you. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2011/0..._n_867613.html WASHINGTON -- House Republicans are increasingly divided over whether to pay for a massive emergency aid package for those impacted by the storms pummeling the Midwest -- an intra-party scuffle that comes at a time of a near-obsessive focus on cutting spending on Capitol Hill. GOP leaders are signaling they will push to come up with offsets to pay for such a package, which could cost billions of dollars and has been proposed in response to a week of tornadoes and floods that have decimated areas of Arkansas, Oklahoma, Kansas and Missouri. The federal government typically foots the bill when it comes to responding to natural disasters, but Republicans in charge of the House say they plan to keep their message of fiscal discipline in line with their actions. "There's not a question that there are going to be offsets if there is a request for a supplemental," House Majority Leader Eric Cantor (R-Va.) told The Huffington Post. |
