Cruz/Cornyn: Texas senators defend votes against Sandy funding

[Lakhota]

As the federal government considers how best to help Texas recover from Hurricane Harvey, Rep. Pete King, whose home state of New York was hit hard by Hurricane Sandy in 2013, reminded his Lone Star State colleagues that some of them voted against a $51-billion aid package that year.

At the time, many Congressional Republicans insisted on spending cuts equal to the amount of funding allocated to Sandy. Among the 36 senators voting against the final relief package were both Texas senators, Ted Cruz and John Cornyn.

Cornyn’s press office noted that prior to his 2013 "no" vote, he supported another amendment that would have provided $24 billion in aid, minus what Cornyn’s team called "unrelated spending, which included money for things like repairing fisheries in the Pacific."

However, Cornyn’s staff did not say whether he would seek spending cuts corresponding to Harvey relief funding if Congress votes on the relief after they return next week.

Cruz echoed the same sentiment.

To put this in perspective 80% of the money wasn't actually for the Sandy Hook victims is why they didn't vote for it. But since you are calling it that way let's do this. Send Texas the relief money but attach the total cost of the wall to it and let's see how the libs vote on it.

We don't have to, you assholes left a long time ago.

Leftards attached "pork" that had nothing to do with helping victims of the storm....you see? That is just how fucking pathetic the leftard clown posse of sniveling commies act. They use a tragedy to milk the taxpayer and then claim that those that vote against it don't care about the victims.....have some crow.......

No way. Texas can instill a State income tax to help pay for the mess they are in. Doesn't Texas have a lot of elites, let them pay, they live there.

They were anti Flint aid as well and also Pence wanted to lower Fed Aid. also I think you meant 20% of the money was not for Sandy.

Do you have any concept of correlation? Why don't we do that with all disaster areas? Just raise taxes on the rich. Brilliant fucking plan.

Yes. We do not need to lower taxes on the elites or the corps. Texas needs to have a state income tax. A progressive one, the elites pay more.
