Pubs/potters scorn Sandy victims

btw. how much money did you guys who are complaining give? How much of your time did you give?
I pay taxes. I want my gov to cover the costs of this catastrophe. So, go make all the excuses you can. Not helping with our tax money is classless.



Do you want the bill to cover those costs to include a bunch of other, unrelated, spending of your tax dollars?

Only if it benefits me............. :eusa_whistle:
 
Democrat icon Rahm Emanuel's infamous quote applicable again, "never let a crisis go to waste". With the cooperation of the liberal media they managed to blame the republican president for FEMA's typical slow response to Katrina victims and now the democrat president gets a pass while he plays golf and they blame the republican majority in congress.

Grover Cleveland, a Democrat and a true classical liberal...

Cleveland used the veto far more often than any president up to that time.[94] In 1887, Cleveland issued his most well-known veto, that of the Texas Seed Bill.[95] After a drought had ruined crops in several Texas counties, Congress appropriated $10,000 to purchase seed grain for farmers there.[95] Cleveland vetoed the expenditure. In his veto message, he espoused a theory of limited government:

I can find no warrant for such an appropriation in the Constitution, and I do not believe that the power and duty of the general government ought to be extended to the relief of individual suffering which is in no manner properly related to the public service or benefit. A prevalent tendency to disregard the limited mission of this power and duty should, I think, be steadfastly resisted, to the end that the lesson should be constantly enforced that, though the people support the government, the government should not support the people. The friendliness and charity of our countrymen can always be relied upon to relieve their fellow-citizens in misfortune. This has been repeatedly and quite lately demonstrated. Federal aid in such cases encourages the expectation of paternal care on the part of the government and weakens the sturdiness of our national character, while it prevents the indulgence among our people of that kindly sentiment and conduct which strengthens the bonds of a common brotherhood.[96]
