Disaster areas, does the GOP believe letting them stay that way is good for the country?

Well, I guess this thread died when the Democrats were exposed as wanting more money to steal...

Yep, that's what it amounts to, and rdean is too intellectually dishonest to admit that a major part of the problem with Katrina was DEMOCRAT incompetence and corruption, and his solution is just to give criminal Democrats more money!!!!!
dean dishonest?.....dean?....sure you got the right guy?....
 
Sandy was far more mismanaged under dems than Katrina was, but hey Fema and rest of the Feds got to stay in 5 star hotels while they set up tent cities in the cold for the victims
You just pulled that out your butt.

Why CDC Responded With Lack of Urgency to Formaldehyde Warnings - ProPublica

In December 2007 and January 2008, two years after FEMA trailer occupants had begun complaining about burning eyes and labored breathing, the CDC conducted the federal government’s first formaldehyde tests on trailers where people were actually living.

In February the CDC announced that preliminary results showed the formaldehyde levels in many of the trailers were high enough to increase the risk of cancer and respiratory illnesses. FEMA began urging people to move out.

Why do these right wingers lie all the time? These fuckers are so full of bullshit. Do they think we won't go look? Has anyone told them about Google???? They make themselves look dishonest and dirty.

 
Republicans say disaster victims should pay to be rescued - Google Search

After Katrina, Sandy and other disasters, Republicans have attempted to block disaster relief. Some even saying people should pay to be rescued.

Remember when they blocked this administration from investigating BP and felt it's Americans who should pay, not those who caused that terrible disaster.

Republicans say BP shouldn t pay - Google Search

It's not a secret. Republicans have been upfront when it comes to disasters and who should be helped.

So what happens when the government won't help? Disaster areas should stay disaster areas? We shouldn't rebuild? Why would Republicans think that would be good for the country? If an area isn't productive, won't it hurt the nation as a whole?

Only if they aren't true. Not true is Fox and Breitbart. But you knew that.
 
Florida is getting a couple of million and they weren't even impacted by the spill. I'd call that a windfall. Calling Michelle Bachman "crazy" does not enhance the left's argument except to the drooling idiots in the democrat base, it only makes them look like petulant children who don't have the intellectual ability to argue a point.

And a lot of the problems during Katrina were directly related to Nagin's mismanagement...

And it gets even better...

Former New Orleans Mayor Ray Nagin charged with Katrina-related corruption - U.S. News

NEW ORLEANS -- Former New Orleans Mayor Ray Nagin was indicted Friday on charges that he used his office for personal gain, accepting payoffs, free trips and gratuities from contractors while the city was struggling to recover from the devastation of Hurricane Katrina.

The charges against Nagin are the outgrowth of a City Hall corruption investigation that already has resulted in guilty pleas by two former city officials and two businessmen and a prison sentence for a former city vendor.

The federal indictment accuses Nagin of accepting more than $160,000 in bribes and truckloads of free granite for his family business in exchange for promoting the interests of a local businessman who secured millions of dollars in city contract work after the 2005 hurricane. The businessman, Frank Fradella, pleaded guilty in June to bribery conspiracy and securities-fraud charges and has been cooperating with federal authorities.

160 thousand NOT taxpayer money. But they refuse to look at the untold millions spent on carcinogenic trailers from FEMA.

Notice how these Republicans swerve. You point to untold millions or even billions in waste, and they point to a few thousand from some obscure politician as if that's "equal".

Let' discuss something more recent... Why does Obama hate disaster victims???
Review Outlook Big Storm Opportunism - WSJ

Let's look at the record. Regarding the budget for FEMA (the Federal Emergency Management Agency), Mr. Obama's own fiscal 2013 budget sought $10.008 billion. That was a cut of $641.5 million, or 6.02%, from fiscal 2012.

Republicans press Obama to back FEMA funding bill as storm nears Fox News

The budget showdown is about to collide with a major weather event.

The House voted Friday to fund the Federal Emergency Management Agency, as Republicans cast the bill as an emergency measure to help Americans threatened by the approaching tropical storm.

"This is about people's lives, people's businesses," Rep. Randy Weber, R-Texas, said.

The bill was one of several House Republicans have pushed in recent days to fund chunks of the government amid the partial government shutdown.

They've been pressuring Democrats, with little success, to support these mini-spending measures while the budget impasse drags on. Republicans upped that pressure on Friday, saying disaster response is critical as Tropical Storm Karen tracks toward the Gulf Coast and is poised to hit this weekend.

"When you've got a storm in the Gulf of Mexico, this is not a time for partisanship," Rep. Steve Scalise, R-La., said after the vote, flanked by Gulf state lawmakers. Scalise called on President Obama to remove his veto threat and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid to pass the bill in the Senate.

Come on. Not even you believe Republicans would actually help regular people. It's not who they are or how they behave.
