I saw that this passed the Senate the other day. Apparently it had not passed the house and the house will not vote on it. I just heard several bills be approved that were nowhere where not near as important as this bill is.

The bill is over $60 billion. Over half of it is loaded with pork. Garbage completely unrelated to storm damage.
The disgust of some House members crossed the aisle.
This crap had ZERO to do with party or ideology.

The fact the House Speaker Boehner walked away from this is disgusting. Yes, the fiscal cliff was a huge accomplishment but to throws this off as "too much work" for them to do is a true shame of our system. I would hope Obama mentions the victims of Sandy tonight.
Oh, and that 'pork' was put in there to get republicans votes. So was that just a ploy so now they can say it is full of pork?
You are against it because it costs too much? This might just end up being a battle cry in further votes. Republicans who are undecided will remember this bill and say, "When I needed the republican leadership it turned their back on me."
Boehner's Ohio pays $105,772,774,000 in annual tax where as New York pays $244,672,914,000 and New Jersey pays $121,678,423,000.
Combined that's $105.8B to $366.4B
Ohio pays $9,224.17 per capita. New York pays $12,678.84 per capita. New Jersey pays $14,008.70 per capita.
Combined that's $9K to $26.7 per capita
Ohio's state burden is 9.7% and New York's is 12.8% and New Jersey's is 12.4%.
So Boehner has no problem taking money and turning his back and walking away. Everyone of those representatives who are paving their roads and educating their children and paying their debts with money from the states that they are now turning their backs on should be ashamed.

Ah man, don't be like that.

So you just want to bitch and have people agree with you.
You don't really care about the victims of Sandy, otherwise you would have been outraged over the pork attached to it he bill in the name of Sandy victims.
I also thought Obama was cutting through all the red tape and helping all those Sandy victims, are you now saying it is like another Katrina?

It is not even getting voted on. Boehner, who just happens to be republican, has made that choice.
