Kewl, let's kill about half of the federal government and leave that money in the States, then they will have the resources to take care of things like this. Of course big government stateist like you will never go along with that.
No they wouldn't.
Oh, OK, how could I argue with such a convincing rebuttal. LMAO
You posted median income. It's fine that a town of 10,000 has a high median income. That town is not generating the states total product. Cut out segments of Charleston and Columbia, and their median income is really high too.Are you dumb? Look up GDP by state, or city, or whatever. You'll find blue cities and states at the top.Chicago and New York pay for our aircraft carriers and your roads. Not Bumfuck, South Carolina.The blue counties contribute the most to GDP. Charleston has a much larger economy than, for example, Beaufort.
The portion of Charleston that actually contributes significantly to the economy is red. That district includes all of Horry County. It includes Myrtle Beach and that is the #1 revenue generating area in the State. Don't think so, think again. Many of the school districts tried starting school in the first week August several years ago. When it disrupted much of the revenue generation from the coastal area, the legislature quickly changed the law not allowing any district to start before the third week in August. Again, the area that caused this was a RED one not a blue one.
Your proof is?
I did for MY state, provided evidence of it, and you still don't believe me.
Asking am I dumb isn't proof of your claim.
Wrong, I'm looking for a reasonable explanation why they went unprepared....
Actually YES! Aside from several KEY military bases, communities like Sumter SC would all but shrivel up if it closed. SC did assess their military base situation and a few bases like Myrtle Beach AFB were closed, the property turned over to the local govt / state.When the sequester was about to hit the Military? The GOP scrambled to get a "deal" going.
Why? It was going to crater their economies.

South Carolina is not only a "gimme" state in terms of taxation, it DEPENDS of the US government in terms of military contracts.
Military Contract Manufacturing in South Carolina (SC) on ThomasNet.com
They also have Military Bases.

Right.....That despite the fact that red states have growing economies and are adding jobs in droves. Jobs that are moving FROM BLUE STATES.No it's because red states, besides Texas, barely contribute to the total GDP.South Carolina, like most red states, takes in more federal money than they pay out.The people there still pay taxes they have no choice in that so they deserve help with money they've paid in for centuries.I say come up with the money yourselves and prove your point. Can't be that hard could it? Why not close DMV offices in black districts, or cut SNAP benefits? Surely these smart people have an answer that precludes asking for help, what were they going to do if something happened before this?
"There's a peculiar irony occurring in South Carolina as the state gets hammered by historic floods and its GOP "small-government" conservatives, who fervently despise the federal government, are now begging the "big, bloated" feds for desperately needed disaster relief.
Presidential contender and South Carolina Senator Lindsey Graham, as well as most of the South Carolina legislative delegation, voted against the Hurricane Sandy disaster relief bill not too long ago. Of course, now that Sen. Graham's folks need help, he is pressing for the quick release of federal dollars.
When asked about why he voted against disaster relief for those affected by Hurricane Sandy, Graham suddenly developed a rare form of conveniently timed legislative amnesia.
Hopefully, the people of South Carolina won't suffer the same apathetic procrastination that first responders got when they requested help after being diagnosed with a myriad of lung ailments during the years following 9/11 in New York.
Conservative politicians seem to love heroes, but don't appear to like helping them after their heroic acts. It's reminiscent of how conservative hawks love to go to war, but don't like funding the Veteran's Administration.
Helping people in need, especially during disasters, has traditionally been seen as an appropriate and expected role for the federal government. Well, until the GOP hard-liners decided that vilifying the federal government should be the new national pastime; just as they've fought hard to gerrymander districts to ensure that they get voted into the very institution they swear they hate." Hating the federal government is 'cool' until you need help
That's due to the only blue district in the state running that number up.
Keep posting crap.The blue districts are the ones that contribute most to red state GDP's.No it's because red states, besides Texas, barely contribute to the total GDP.South Carolina, like most red states, takes in more federal money than they pay out.The people there still pay taxes they have no choice in that so they deserve help with money they've paid in for centuries.
That's due to the only blue district in the state running that number up.
The red districts in the state do contribute. It's the blue one that gets so much that makes the rest of us look bad.
Umm I was reacting to your non sequitur shit head remark.Oh wow. That was clever.LOL coming from the person who gets their haircut at the pet shop.It's your ilk that wants it both ways. You force people to pay for your boondoggle programs, and then you call them names if they attempt to collect the benefits they have paid for.
That is so beautifully Nazi-like.
Not true, its your guys that rejected help and now want help. If they had saved like good little piggies they wouldn't need help and would look like small government conservatives. Instead, they look like they're on the public assistance band wagon.
Your response amounts to saying "huh uhn!"
You're too fucking stupid to waste bandwidth on.
Look, you tried to troll. You failed. Live with that
If you're going to be a smartass, First you have to be smart. Otherwise like you, you're just an ass.

You have no argument as this relief is an essential function of government....And YOUR president was the one who issued the order to declare a state of emergency.
For your side this is a lose lose. You may go now.
If that's true why do libs always say republicans are for the rich? If red states are so poor and all.No it's because red states, besides Texas, barely contribute to the total GDP.South Carolina, like most red states, takes in more federal money than they pay out.The people there still pay taxes they have no choice in that so they deserve help with money they've paid in for centuries.I say come up with the money yourselves and prove your point.

Wait a minute. What proof do you have of this revelation that until now was never reported in the news?actually, he didn't fail at all, his point was quite clear...And we can always count on you flaming libs to stand firm on straw man arguments, half truths and talking points.We can always count on you, to give your meaningless replies of partisan propaganda!!! YAWNYAWN
you can always count on left-wing losers to use straw man arguments. the Right is for less government, not no government.
libs are losers who lie TO THEMSELVES. this is why you left-wing idiots are on the way out
The fact is, one of your lib brethren attempted to troll this board and failed. He failed on a bullshit argument that had no chance of success.
Republicans from the affected flood area, refused to give hurricane Sandy relief to New Jersey 3 years ago for Hurricane Sandy are now begging for federal relief for their state's natural disaster....and they want it NOW!
The right wing's ''talking point'' is that the Sandy relief bill had too much pork in it....implying that Democrats were getting the ''pork'',
when it was REALLY REPUBLICAN PORK in the bill for other republican states that got this PORK....
republicans obviously can't even control other republicans from the PORK BARREL.
They are a laughing stock of hypocrisy...do as I say, but not as I do.... type of politicians....
and yes, there is plenty of that to go around...
but right now, this moment, it highlights the repubs...
That's the million dollar question.If that's true why do libs always say republicans are for the rich?

Your side. The left wing. There is not a bit sense in you believing you are representative of the mainstream, American. You're not. Liberalism is on its way out.

Lol "my side?" My side is "America." I'm happy South Carolina is getting aid. It's also worthwhile to note that South Carolina has elected people who refuse aid to other states. Which is funny because, again, South Carolina and most red states get more money from the feds than they pay in. And that is a FACT. So YOU may go now.

But the GOP knows it doesn't need its base to be rich. They just need them to hate outsiders, change, things that are different, and believe the GOP's lies about passing religious legislation.

Whoa there little buddy. I never complained. I just pointed out how stupid several South Carolina politicians look now that they're on the side that needs disaster funds.Your side. The left wing.

Umm, your complaint as to which states receive federal dollars in greater proportion to the amount that comes from that state lies with the legislators YOU elected. You constant complaining should be directed at the guy in the mirror. No one else. And by the way, it is no one's fault but YOURS, that your tax burden is higher. Again, you elected the people responsible for that...Done
Actually... that does. Care to go back and change your argument?That's the million dollar question.If that's true why do libs always say republicans are for the rich?

If the republicans are so poor why do the democrats want to give them more free shit?
It doesn't make sense with the liberal narrative of the republicans favoring the rich and the democrats "caring" about the poor.
False. They're being realistic about dealing with a ver real problem. What do you think about outsourcing?That's the million dollar question.If that's true why do libs always say republicans are for the rich?

How does importing cheap labor from third world countries impoverish the rich? If anything, it does the opposite. Democrats are screwing the working man by depressing his wages with cheap imported labor.
And that is a complaint..And again..It was Obama that issued the emergency declaration. Go carp at HIM.Whoa there little buddy. I never complained. I just pointed out how stupid several South Carolina politicians look now that they're on the side that needs disaster funds.Your side. The left wing.
