Not One Dime Of Federal Aid

[WillowTree]

Hurricane Michael upgraded to Category 5 by NOAA
Scientists say after analyzing all data on Hurricane Michael, they determined the storm made landfall with wind speeds of 160 miles per hour when the eye made landfall near Mexico Beach and Tyndall Air Force Base. They say this is five miles more than the operational estimate and makes Hurricane Michael a Category 5.

But by God Congress will send billions overseas and take care of their precious illegals!

Hurricane Michael recovery funding money not in federal spending bill

Congress continues to overlook Hurricane Michael disaster relief

The latest battle over disaster funding played out last week. Democrats wanted more funding for Puerto Rico in a supplemental bill that would have applied to multiple major disasters. Republicans didn’t agree. In the end, everybody lost.

“This impasse over disaster relief funding would go away in an instant if only Republicans would do one thing: Stand up to President Donald Trump to make sure every community across America affected by natural disasters gets the funding they deserve,” Sen. Chuck Shumer, D-NY, tweeted after a speech on the Senate floor last week asking that funding be restored for Puerto Rico.

If funding isn’t passed soon, repair work on Tyndall Air Force Base, which is estimated to make up a third of Bay County’s economy, will grind to a halt on May 1, hurting both the local area and military readiness. Also in jeopardy are repairs to the local VA medical facilities, the U.S Coast Guard facility repairs and federal dollars for the schools, according to Rubio’s office.

As of April 1, the agency had pumped $1.1 billion into the area, though more than half was in the form of loans from the Small Business Administration. That money includes $31 million for debris removal and other protective measures, $140 million in individual assistance, $206 million in national flood insurance claims paid and $629 million in low-interest SBA disaster loans, that have to be paid back.

The title of this thread is deceiving. Federal Aid did happen as I just posted from the local news source in Panama City.

Funding hasn't happened to restore issues that affect the economy there. Repairs that are essential to the area to get tax revenues..............

Seems the argument is that Dems are demanding more funding for Puerto Rico OR ELSE..........yet we spent massive money in Puerto Rico to rebuild the Island and moved a third of their population to the United States Free of Charge.

So a political BS issue is stopping the rebuilding of military bases and Coast Guard bases as well as schools........figures the rebuilding of the bases there are being HELD HOSTAGE BY THE LEFT over Puerto Rico........which GOT MASSIVE RELIEF.

Puerto Rico got paper towels

The Congress has not approved aid to the Florida panhandle. They will send billions overseas and spend billion on illegals. Deal that into your bs.

I stand by my the thread title is misleading and that is BS statement.

In regards that the spend a lot of money out of country and then not here...........I agree with you willowtree.

Schools in the area.............yes they should be rebuilt and should have already had funding.

Coast Guard is essential to rescue in the Gulf there,,,,,,,,,so yes it should have been funded.

Air Force Base............needs to be looked into.........They left F22 Raptors that cost a but load of money there because they couldn't fly..........and they were damaged in the storm...........Where is the Aircraft Storage there to protect these high dollar aircraft if they can't be flown for a storm??????????

That is an issue that needs to be addressed ...........they cost too dang much not to have reiforced aircraft storage there for these planes.........and at the same time would they be better off further away from the coast because of this..........

Those are the most expensive aircraft we build.......Only the F35 costs more............and that is an issue with me.

Air Force begins work on Tyndall AFB rebuild with PMO > U.S. Air Force > Article Display

The Air Force initiated several task forces to aid in recovery. One goal is to focus on installation facilities and infrastructure with a mission to assess facility damage, determine usability, and preserve capability. The Program Management Office continues those efforts, which are expected to take upwards of five years and cost approximately $3 billion.

THAT IS A DECENT REQUEST.

Repairs to Tyndall, Offutt May Delay Funding for Air Force Base Upgrades

The service earlier this week unveiled a new plan to update bases with eroded infrastructure and those that haven't received modernization improvements in the last 20 years. Dubbed the Air Force infrastructure investment strategy, or "I2S," the effort is set to be funded starting next fiscal year, if the budget request made public earlier this month is approved by Congress.

Henderson said the service is planning for a $2 billion increase from last year's O&M request: an additional $1.3 billion in facility sustainment, restoration and modernization, and $700 million in military construction recapitalization

Because of neglected maintenance over the last two decades at all 180 of its installations, the service has racked up $33 billion in backlogged work that needs to be done to fix buildings, runways, heating, ventilation and air conditioning systems officials said.

The backlog is expected to triple over the next 30 years.



So the airforce is diverting funds from elsewhere to pay for the repairs....and have serious maintenance problems that are growing. Add to it the missile silo's that hold our Nukes that are old and falling apart......

ICYMI: MARCO RUBIO: Playing politics with disaster funding, Democrat obstruction hits new low

Hurricane Michael made landfall on Florida’s Panhandle six months ago, destroying homes, communities, jobs, and the local economy. As Floridians try to piece their lives back together, local and state officials continue to call on Congress to provide overdue disaster funds.

Last week, the United States Senate had the opportunity to answer that call by passing a comprehensive disaster relief package that would bring billions of dollars to Florida’s disaster-stricken communities and around the nation. Democrats sadly said no.

That vote was inexcusable and indefensible.


It is inexcusable that my Democratic colleagues are using Puerto Rico as an excuse to deny much-needed aid to states that were hit by natural disasters. And in so doing, Senate Democrats also blocked $600 million in nutrition assistance to Puerto Rican disaster survivors, for whom they claim to be supporting. While they play their political games, the situation on the ground—both in Northwest Florida and in Puerto Rico—will only get worse. They should be ashamed of themselves.




Fuck democrats, they are all assholes!
