House conservatives demand offsets for Hurricane Sandy aid

[Article 15]

I agree we should offset the Sandy aid money with cuts to the military budget.

I think we should offset it with cuts to PBS, Planned Parenthood and the EPA.

No, you don't. Stop lying.

[zonly1]

Not again. NaziCons always seem to need hostages of some kind.

Your the dumbest idiot in the room. Thanks for proving it.

The dollar is loosing it aZZ and you dumb aZZ have no clue what the fuck you are talking about.

It's idiots like you that give the name Americans are financial morons.

Keynesian would even agree...Remember he's a fabian socialist like you but he would even recognized that socialism had limitation...

Hey, everyone knows there is absolutely no slack in the budget. We can't cut a single billion out of the 3,800 billion the government spends without someone's granny starving to death!

Once again the far-right of the GOP (are there any moderates left?) show us how compassionate they are and prove why a majority of Americans hold them in low regard concerning the welfare of the nation.

Bullshit. Your point would be pointy if the Rs said "no Sandy relief for you!". They didn't.

Republicans know that budgeting for a rainy day and off-setting emergency spending with cutting someplace else is common sense. When oh when will they learn that Dems lack common sense and the Dems pea-brains damn near explode when you inject it into a conversation.

No spending cuts! Tax the rich a bit more! Free ice cream for everyone! <--- The Dem way or no way!

See ya at the bottom.

I think you forgot a zero, wouldn't it be 38,000 billion or 3.8 trillion. Nope your right, it's getting late.

I agree we should offset the Sandy aid money with cuts to the military budget.

Defense budget is a favorite of the the left to decimate.
Just as taxing the shit out of the rich.They say it's only a few points.
Well now it's just a few points and so much in cuts to defense...

What do we do when we find raising taxes and cutting the defense budget
doesn't do what the lefties believe it will do...

WE go back and hit defense and those evil rich people again...

Do we really need troops in Germany, Japan, South Korea,,,,and every knook and cranny worldwide? The US is going broke and we sure the hell have to stop defending countries and regions of the world that can afford to defend themselves.
You people cry and moan about spending without not blinking an eye for the billions of dollars we must spend on defense even though we out-spend Russia and China by six-seven times annually. And then you want fiscal responsibility. That is 100% hypocrisy. Suck it up and get over your dreams of world control, we can't afford it.

Yea, Japan and Germany really need our help.

 

[Claudette]

I know this is an alien concept for Libs...
At some point we need to stop spending money we do not have...

But the nation owes it to those willing to live in hurricane zones and tornado zones and earthquake zones to be their insurance policies.

Of course, if your sorry arse house burns down and no one elses no one gives a damn about you.

Your so right.

I live down here in Florida and have gone through many hurricanes. I have never taken a dime of Fed money for anything.

If you live in Hurricane, Tornado or fire or flood regions why the hell should the taxpayers rebuild for you?? You should have insurance. Rebuild your own shit.

Sandy relief my ass.

 

[Oldguy]

Obama has already made them wait for weeks to get their power back on, what's a few more days?

Lie. Obama had nothing to do with restoring power.

If you have evidence to the contrary, lets see it.

 

[Oldguy]

Just out of curiosity, I'd like to ask a personal question to those of you complaining about the cost of Sandy, those who think it should be left to private charity, those who think the federal government shouldn't be involved etc:

What have YOU done...personally...to help the victims? How much did it cost you? Will you do more? Will you stay involved so long as there's a need?

I ask that not to put someone on the spot, but to make the point that if your ideological position is such that you think charity is enough, let's do an informal survey right here and see if that's true.

I don't know why it's so hard for you leftist dumbasses to comprehend the fact that THIS NATION IS FREAKING BROKE. Americans need help in recovering from Sandy, fine, give them money, but that means we HAVE TO take the money from something else. You jackasses think just because we can print money, we have an unlimited supply of it. That's not how it works dumbasses. Maybe take away the billions of dollars it will cost to give our enemies F-16's and use the money for Victims of Sandy, maybe take some of the billions we're GIVING to PRIVATE green energy companies and give it to Sandy victims, but the FACT is when you have a limited supply of something you have to prioritize how you use it. Get used to this leftists, it's how our new medical care will be in this nation now that the govt has control of the industry.

Yes, we need to cut spending. Any moron can see that.

But, to hold off spending on hurricane relief until Congress can pass a bill to cut other spending is nothing less than holding the victims hostage. The time to cut spending isn't right now, it's during the budget process. The victims need help today, not 6 months from now.

Let's start cutting defense spending.

Can't right now, Obama is getting us involved with Syria. We can't seem to stop being the world police.

 

[Zoom-boing]

So, the victims of Sandy should have to wait for relief because Republicans want unrelated spending cuts in return? Talk about bullshit -- you're wading in it.

Whaa? You mean FEMA is just sitting around waiting for some bucks? You mean to tell me there's been no help sent to the victims of Sandy? You mean the money that the 12/12/12 concert raised plus all other charitable monies raised isn't helping? The victims are just sitting there in the dark, still?

<sniff, sniff> Your shit stinks more than most. P-U.

Better idea ... let's start by slashing 20% from every single fucking thing DC spends money on.

Yea, Japan and Germany really need our help.

the USA secures the support lines with their bases in germany.

e.g., they provide a medical facility closer to the theater.

See that's the freaking problem with you leftists, it's never the "right time" to cut spending. This isn't a matter of just cutting spending, this is a matter of, WE DON'T HAVE ANY FREAKING MONEY! Good God man, what do you people not comprehend about that? EVERY responsible adult in the world understands that you CANNOT spend more money than you have, the govt HAS NO FREAKING MONEY, so therefore it cannot spend unless it takes money from something else. This is why we need to bring back debtor's prisons, so that dumbass liberals and leftists, along with dumbasses in general, start to understand that there are consequences to spending what you don't have or can pay back if you borrow. This would go a long, long way towards educating dumbasses in fiscal responsibilty, because evidently a large portion of the American public cannot grasp this concept without some sort of motivation like debtor's prisons to reinforce the idea in their little pea brains.

Interesting you call it defense and I call it military.
Different programming?

 

[Votto]

Just out of curiosity, how many people must lose their homes in a disaster before the American tax payer must bail them out?

I'm still awaiting a reply libtards. You can't just give me two thumbs down and put your tail between your legs and slither off like that.

YOU MUST ANSWER THE QUESTION or I will assume you defeated.

How many people must suffer in order to qualify for taxpayer dollars to reimburse me?

It is a natural response to a limitless all powerful centralized government.
