Too bad Christie doesn't understand that the money called Aid for Sandy Victims isn't going to Sandy Victims but to every pet project democrats can dream up instead. Fisheries in Alaska, NASCAR, the EPA. if New Jersey got 2 cents of every dollar they'd be lucky.

•$2 million to repair damage to the roofs of museums in Washington, D.C., while many in Hurricane Sandy’s path still have no roof over their own heads.
•$150 million for fisheries as far away from the storm’s path as Alaska.
•$125 million for the Department of Agriculture’s Emergency Watershed Protection program, which helps restore watersheds damaged by wildfires and drought.
•$20 million for a nationwide Water Resources Priorities Study.
•$15 million for NASA facilities, though NASA itself has called its damage from the hurricane ‘minimal.’
•$50 million in subsidies for tree planting on private properties.
•$336 million for taxpayer-supported AMTRAK without any detailed plan for how the money will be spent.
•$5.3 billion for the Army Corps of Engineers – more than the Corps’ annual budget – with no statement of priorities about how to spend the money.
•$12.9 billion for future disaster mitigation activities and studies, without identifying a single way to pay for it.

But ask those in DC why Alaska fisheries money and other items listed above is needed in a Hurricane Bill and you will get some very good reason that Alaska Salmon is needed in Sandy relief.
WHY in hell can't they just come up with a bill to help the victims....WHY in hell do they always have to throw other junk in there? THIS is why the republicans didn't want this bill....a lot of it is just MORE SPENDING - on things that do not have anything to do with Sandy. There's people out there suffering, and the Dems can't just do something simple and do what they need to help them...they also ALWAYS have to throw in other crap. But they don't care, it comes from us lower/middle class people anyway. They don't care about us, why would they care about the Sandy victims?
