[depotoo]

FYI: I think they should get all the Big Government HELP they need to rebuild. I don't care if they made a bad decision to build a community in a tornado zone. When bad shit happens, the government should help. Why? Because they are in the best position to do so.

We are our bother's keepers. And this nation should bear the burden of those who freely choose to live in hurricane and tornado zones.

I personally support the my conservative Oklahoma brothers and sisters in their plea for BIG GOVERNMENT HELP.

this is obviously referring back to Sandy. Sandy was never denied initial help. Neither should OK. The issue, which you fail to mention in your opening post, refers to the extended relief bill of $50.5 Billion in which Sandy was given, but many were against. I will tell you it is much deeper, and I suspect you do realize that, than some noot voting for it. It had to do with the contents of that Bill, in which much was not even directed directly to helping those businesses or families that actually were impacted by Sandy. There is so much pork within that bill, that is why some voted against it.

It seems to me, you should be directing your focus on those that submitted that pork to a bill that should have been exclusively for those directly effected by that horrible storm, rather than those that voted against it. Otherwise I see it as your not really caring for those victims of Sandy.

An initial Sandy bill of only 9 billion was passed early in January and pretty much the same Republicans voted AGAINST that one as well,

so fuck the 'pork' excuse.

Why Oklahoma Sen. Tom Coburn doesn't want tornado relief money - The Week

According to The Huffington Post, Coburn's spokesman, John Hart, has confirmed that the senator will push for any federal disaster spending to be offset by cuts elsewhere in the budget: "That's always been his position [to offset disaster aid]. He supported offsets to the bill funding the OKC bombing recovery effort."

To the orange:

Untrue

– 2005: The “Emergency Supplemental Appropriations Act” (H.R. 1268) provided $82 billion to the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. Coburn voted for the measure.
– 2006: The Defense Appropriations Bill (H.R.2863) provided approximately $40 billion for the war in Iraq. Coburn voted for the measure.
– 2006: “Emergency Supplemental Appropriations Act,” (H.R. 4939 ) provided $72 billion for the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. Coburn voted for the measure.
– 2005: After Hurricane Katrina hit in 2005, Congress passed two relief bills, allocating more than $50 billion and allowing the National Flood Insurance Program to borrow more money. One of the measures was adopted by unanimous consent and Coburn voted for the other.
– 2006: Congress approved a Department of Defense appropriations bill (H.R. 5631), including approximately $70 billion for the war in Iraq. Coburn voted for the measure.
– 2008: In October 2008, the Bush Administration and Congress enacted a rescue package to stabilize the financial system by creating the Troubled Asset Relief Program (TARP). Coburn voted in favor of the measure.

Oklahoma Senator Won't Support Tornado Relief Without Budget Cuts | ThinkProgress

[hazlnut]

Should Red States that hate the federal government be allowed to take Big Government Aid, or should the citizens of Oklahoma be held accountable for their decision to live in a tornado zone?

Ayn Rand cashed her Social Security checks as she railed against Big Government and Social Security.

When is this shit going to end?

Why can't Conservatives and Red States just appreciate the help they get from Big Government? That's all I ask.

Do you know how much money Red States have accepted form Big Government for disaster relief?

Do you know how much medicare aid conservative seniors have accepted from Big Government.

Do you know how Big Government infrastructure investments help both citizens and corporations?

Do you know how many Big Government subsidies have been accepted by private sector capitalists?

What about Patent Protection that capitalists beg for and receive from Big Government? Does Glenn Beck teach you any of this?

Do you know how much military protection the private sector receives from big government so that their overseas supply chains and trade routes are protected?

Until you understand the amount of BIG GOVERNMENT aid Conservatives, Red States, and Corporations have accepted (and lobbied for), you should be careful with banal cliches against Big Government.

The American people are resilient. And they always come to each others aid. But there is a role for Big Government in helping people, as is evidenced by all the aid conservatives and Red States take. Until you fully understand that aid, you are part of the problem.

Yes...

Yes...


Yes...

We give it to them without question, whatever the need, as soon as humanly possible....because we're righteous.



And when a Tsunami hits L.A., they'll make CA beg for relief. Because they're damned.

 

[Stephanie]

you really are a petty ass.... there is pennies difference in states from some chart you dug up that says, (Red State Socialism)...do you feel good about this crap?

you can't wait to dance on the graves of those killed in OK?

 

[zeke]

Coburn should publicly praise Big Government for having the resources and power and money to rebuild his state.

Except, the feds are no where near his state. It's the Churches, individual people, and private charities that are actually providing relief to the state and helping the people rebuild.

The people of Oklahoma will be far along the path of rebuilding before the Feds even get there.

I have read (not often I might add) the stupid shit you write. But this was really fuking crazy. No Federal help you say?

So why was the Gov of Ok saying that FEMA help was timely and effective? Are you so fuking stupid that you don't know what FEMA is or what it does?
