WV voters: Remember when the GOP wanted disaster victims to pay to be rescued?

Eric Cantor's 'callous' disaster-aid refusal

Cantor Says Congress Won’t Pay For Missouri Disaster Relief Unless Spending Is Cut Elsewhere

Why 58 Representatives Who Voted for Hurricane Katrina Aid Voted Against Aid for Sandy
We didn't have a black president. That makes a huge difference for a party that's 90% white.

Republicans Introduce Bill to Abolish FEMA
The proposed legislation would immediately halt all the agency's work, lay off its employees, and use the money saved to finance a tax credit for oil and gas production in national parks.

Republicans have a rich history of fucking over the middle class and the poor. For years, they have even been targeting disaster victims. I know those most hurt in West Virginia will vote Republican.

The worst targeted group, the GOP base, either firmly denies the GOP would ever do that, or feels it won't happen to them. That's what makes scams so easy. When the victim "helps" with eyes wide open.

Now you know what Republicans will do under Trump.

Sandy long term aid bill was completely loaded with pork. Something like 10 percent only going to disaster relief.

Sandy long term aid bill was completely loaded with pork. Something like 10 percent only going to disaster relief.

Despite opposition from conservatives concerned about adding billions of dollars more to the nation’s debt, the Senate cleared the long-delayed bill, 62 to 36, after House Republicans had stripped it earlier this month of spending unrelated to disasters.

But not the other dozens of Republicans who voted with him. Besides, it was a "Tea Party" thing, not because he wanted to fuck over the GOP base. Even the Tea Party wants to do that. That's just part of what it means to be a Republican.

Yeah the original bill was just loaded down with so much pork it was crazy. Ontario is just a disaster and the NDP are in the process of wrecking Alberta but we just elected a solid conservative government so we're doing ok.

Hey asswipe we was being used as a plural, nothing to do with one single person. We was meant as the conservative movement, Republicans as a group of like minded citizens.
Why do we have to educate these assholes?

The original bill's pork list. Unreal.

And oh it gets better....
WASHINGTON — President Obama’s $60.4 billion request for Hurricane Sandy relief has morphed into a huge Christmas stocking of goodies for federal agencies and even the state of Alaska, The Post has learned.

The pork-barrel feast includes more than $8 million to buy cars and equipment for the Homeland Security and Justice departments. It also includes a whopping $150 million for the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration to dole out to fisheries in Alaska and $2 million for the Smithsonian Institution to repair museum roofs in DC.

An eye-popping $13 billion would go to “mitigation” projects to prepare for future storms.

Other big-ticket items in the bill include $207 million for the VA Manhattan Medical Center; $41 million to fix up eight military bases along the storm’s path, including Guantanamo Bay, Cuba; $4 million for repairs at Kennedy Space Center in Florida; $3.3 million for the Plum Island Animal Disease Center and $1.1 million to repair national cemeteries.

Budget watchdogs have dubbed the 94-page emergency-spending bill “Sandy Scam.”
