Hey Texas, still wanna secede?

[rightwinger]

Uhmmm demanding services for that which has already been paid for is not the same as demanding a handout.

Did I just say that? Oh that's gonna bite me in the arse.

It hasn't been paid for

We have a 2015 budget and Texas flood relief is not in it. Bailing out Texas will take additional taxes and I am Taxed Enough Already

FEMA's broke? How did Obama let that happen? Where did the money go that I was forced to put into it?

Is that what it says here: Disaster Relief Fund Monthly Report FEMA.gov

http://www.fema.gov/media-library-d...69200ef76/DRFCongressionalReportApril2015.pdf

Hint the number is 7,466,000,000 and it's on page 4.

Nice try though.

It is still a handout full of pork

So? Pick one, gut FEMA or continue down this spiral of using it to cover every natural disaster vs. making people carry their own insurance / pay for their own dumb ass mistakes.

That would require people like RW to show a little personal responsibility.

I'm not the one begging for a handout...it is the deadbeats in Texas

Your jealousy of the great state of Texas is duly noted.

 

[Papageorgio]

My apologies, I forgot you are a fucking asshole.

I just love my Constitution

The Constitution is quite clear about what the Federal Government can do. Per the 10th Amendment, all other functions are left to the states

Since the Constitution says nothing about "We the People" providing flood relief, that makes it a state responsibility

A Constitutional scholar like Ted Cruz should know that

And had not Texas paid into the federal government for such things, had the federal government not set up all these programs Texas paid into, had the federal government not taken many states rights away, you would have a point. However, they did and you don't.

The state of Texas did not pay into the federal government, individual taxpayers residing in Texas did

But they still have to abide by the Constitution and there is nothing in the Constitution where disaster relief is a federal function

Let the people of Texas pay....why should I have to pay because they build houses on rivers? Why reward idiots?

Uhm... why not make the idiots pay for their own mistakes? Why push this off to anyone at all? If people want to be charitable, let them do it voluntarily not by force.

Absolutely. If a town in Texas is flooded, let them pass the hat to get people to help pay for the damage. Why should I have to pay for damage in Texas if I don't want to?

I am already Taxed Enough Already and see no reason to add to our $18 trillion debt to bail out Texas

That's why your opinion doesn't count.

Maybe they're "great" because of the 300 who surrendered without a fight at Goliad....and were shot.

You know how those dirty mexicans are.
And the Battle of San Jacinto put em in their place for good.

 

[jwoodie]

They should either do that...or secede like they keep "threatening" to.

Another example of the Lying Left. They would be the first to oppose secession (with force, if necessary).

Yep...they wouldnt want to lose the 12 largest economy in the world.

 

[Political Junky]

Wow, the bigots slither out from under the rocks when a disaster happens in a republican state.

The Right would never do that over California, for instance.

The smart thing is to NOT expect any help from Red states period. That's how they are.

 

[TooTall]

Fuck, conservative nitwit Greg Abbott was begging for federal funds before he even got sworn in as Texas governor.

Texas governor-elect seeks federal funds to cover immigration costs Reuters

Shouldn't that headline have read illegal immigration costs?

Yes it absolutely should have.

 

[TooTall]

God hates Texass. So do I...

Did God tell you that?

God is punishing Texas for Ted Cruz
Pay heed

 

[TooTall]

Wanna dry out first and reconsider, or are ya still all pro-secede down there? If pro-secede, are you rejecting federal disaster money and such so as not to be hypocritical?

^^^ So you think its funny people got killed and home were destroyed, more proof leftist scum have no class.

May I correct you? Leftist scum have a lot of class. All of it LOW!

 

[TooTall]

^^^ So you think its funny people got killed and home were destroyed, more proof leftist scum have no class.

I think it is horrible that people are suffering

But we have no room in the budget to help them

Yeah, the money's better spent on those who won't help themselves and typically vote (D). You lefties are scum of the Earth, you really are... vile wastes of humanity most of you.

Texas will just have to pick themselves up by their bootstraps, buckle down, work harder, stop looking for handouts, not rely on BIG GOVERNMENT, handle things at the state level and cut back on waste, fraud and abuse to pay for it themselves

The rest of the country has been Taxed Enough Already and we can't pay for them

Texas has been paying into the Federal system designed to provide assistance in the event of a natural disaster, why would you deny their claim?

Fine...figure out how much that is and give them that amount but no more. I'm a reasonable person.

How about the same amount that was given after Sandy Hook?
