Pork

Congress Piles the Pork into Hurricane Sandy Relief

The millions of dollars for projects unrelated to recovery from Hurricane Sandy included in the Sandy relief act is the latest in a long line of examples of politicians using emergency spending bills to fund pet projects.

www.thefiscaltimes.com

According to an analysis by Ellis, the Sandy emergency spending package includes $150 million for fishery disaster areas in Mississippi and Alaska; $20,000 for a new car for the Inspector General of the Justice Department; $10.8 billion for the Federal Transportation Administration; and cancellation of loans related to Hurricane Katrina. It also contains $4 million for repairs at the Kennedy Space Center and $3.3 million for the Plum Island Animal Disease Center​

Define pork.

Because basically everything listed is responsive to a disaster.

DeSantis's congressional voting record is a concern of mine. I support him atm. And I'll sort of give him a pass on it. He was new to politics. Was being lead by others. "Shown the ropes" sort of speak.
His record in FL is almost a polar opposite of his congressional record.

So what I'm doing now, to double check my support, is listening to what he's saying now and see how it lines up with those congressional votes that I object to. If he still supports things like FISA 702, the unconstitutional parts of the Patriot Act and NDAA, then I'll drop my support for him like a hot rock.

I'm not a political loyalist. I keep my support for politicians completely based on the issues. And will have no problem finding someone else to support.

 

[whitehall]

How could a Florida governor vote against aid to hurricane Sandy victims? Do crazy lefties think it's hypocritical for a republican governor to request federal aid from a democrat administration?

 

[Magnus]

The reason is, you aren't telling the truth.
As a member of Congress, DeSantis supported emergency disaster relief funding for Hurricane Sandy, but he did not support the additional pork spending that ended up in the final relief bill,”

DeSantis voted against Sandy aid a decade ago. Now his state needs the help.

Florida's Republicans have a complicated relationship with disaster aid.

www.politico.com

Perhaps you should stop believing democrats.

That's your proof? Why didn't you post the entire sentence from your link? Let me do that for you, shall I?

“As a member of Congress, DeSantis supported emergency disaster relief funding for Hurricane Sandy, but he did not support the additional pork spending that ended up in the final relief bill,” Bryan Griffin, press secretary for DeSantis’ presidential campaign, added in a separate statement. (Republicans at the time complained that the Sandy package continued to fund a depleted National Flood Insurance Program with money the government didn’t have.)

So, you are going by what DeSantis's press secretary stated? The pork spending they were objecting to was funding the National Flood Insurance Program. The same program, incidentally, that will now be tapped to pay for Florida's flooding.

Don't believe me? Here ya go...

Fla. could get billions from legislation DeSantis opposed

As a Republican congressman, Ron DeSantis voted against increasing flood insurance borrowing. Now, that money could help his state rebuild after Hurricane

Now, your turn. Prove me wrong. Prove that what DeSantis opposed was frivolous pork spending. Go.

But, I'll bet you won't. Because you are a lying retard. And lying retards never back up their statement. Prove me wrong, retard. Go.

The Sandy Relief Bill Was Chock Full Of Pork

The key question with an emergency spending bill is whether it immediately helps the people and homes and businesses and infrastructure in affected areas.

What the hell is going on when lefties think it's hypocritical for a republican governor to do what's right and request federal aid for his state? Hypocrite lefties blamed George Bush for Katrina but Biden gets a pass.

Try again, retard. All debunked.

But these claims are hyperbolic and misleading.

Of 23 examples of extraneous spending that a spokesman for Mr. Cruz provided, all but one — $195 million in discretionary funds for the secretary of health and human services — were Sandy-related or sought to mitigate future storms, as the law required.

The spokesman also pointed to a Congressional Quarterly analysis that said that $17 billion in the bill went toward immediate aid for Sandy victims while $33.5 billion was for “near- and long-term assistance and mitigation” of damage from future disasters.

But providing nonemergency aid and preparing for future storms are not the same as spending on projects that are entirely unrelated to Sandy.

Mr. Cruz’s original claim — that just $16 billion to $17 billion was actually connected to disaster relief — is similarly not plausible, as is evident from even a cursory look at the CQ analysis and another breakdown of the aid from the Congressional Research Service.

More than $28 billion was allocated to programs for Sandy relief. They included money for the Federal Emergency Management disaster fund ($11.5 billion), repairs for damaged transit systems ($10.9 billion), repairs to damaged Army Corps of Engineers projects and dredging ($5.35 billion), disaster loans to small business ($520 million) and emergency farm, food and conservation assistance ($224 million).

The Washington Post’s Fact Checker awarded Mr. Cruz three Pinocchios out of four for his statement.

The Sandy package also provided substantial funding to ease the impact of future storms. It earmarked more than $200 million to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration to improve and study weather forecasting, $86 million for Amtrak recovery and resiliency projects in the affected area and $50 million to the Corps of Engineers for storm damage reduction studies, for example.

Mr. Flores’s claim that areas not affected by Sandy also received funding is correct, but the money was nonetheless earmarked for emergencies. (The law’s title, after all, is Disaster Relief Appropriations.)

Was 2013 Hurricane Sandy Relief Package ‘Full of Pork’? (Published 2017)

Texas lawmakers say they voted against the 2013 aid bill because it included spending unrelated to Sandy. There’s a factual bone to pick with this claim.

So angry. America needs an economic depression. Then we will all see where the money goes.

LMAO they got hit by a hurricane, a natural disaster. It's not like GM asking Dems to gift them a $52 billion dollar bail out. Wait for it...OH SNAP!

Hurricane Sandy wasn’t a hurricane?

I am not wishing for it. Hardship will be real. We waste so much in resources. When it comes to Florida, I believe they need to up their game on infrastructure for potential Hurricanes. Most people love the ocean. Perhaps we across the nation build too much on barrier islands.

Fact check: Ted Cruz wrong on Hurricane Sandy relief​

We consulted a detailed report on the funding in the legislation by the Congressional Research Service in February 2013. We found that at least $35 billion of the $50.5 billion provided by the bill was related to Sandy — that’s 69% of the bill.

We identified nearly another $10 billion that was for mitigation efforts to limit damage from future storms. That left nearly $6 billion uncategorized, because it was either unclear whether all of the funds were specifically directed to Sandy-affected areas, or the money indeed went to other disaster efforts.

There were many categories of spending, including funds for government relief and assistance programs, health and social services, and repair to damaged facilities. The largest line items among the $50.5 billion included, according to the CRS report: $11.5 billion to FEMA’s disaster relief fund; $16 billion to the Department of Housing and Urban Development’s community development fund; $10.9 billion to the Department of Transportation’s public transportation emergency relief program; $3.5 billion to the Army Corps of Engineers for construction, another $1 billion for flood control and coastal emergencies, and $821 million for operations and maintenance related to Sandy; and $779 million for the Small Business Administration’s disaster loan program.



All of that adds up to 88% of the bill, and we counted most of it as being Sandy-related.

About half of that $10.9 billion to DOT ($5.383 billion) could have been transferred by the transportation secretary to projects to “reduce the risk or damage from future disasters in the areas impacted by Hurricane Sandy,” CRS said. So, we put that in our “mitigation” category, leaving the rest in the Sandy-related category. (DOT said the program was for the 12 states that were declared disaster areas for Sandy.)

Cruz wrongly claims 2013 Sandy relief bill was “filled with pork and unrelated spending.”

This is the same behaviour we saw from Ted Cruz when he was running off to Mexico to avoid freezing in the cold when the power grid failed in Texas. Cruz voted against aid for Sandy victims as well.
