The spending proposals contain additional disaster relief money needed by the Federal Emergency Management Agency to refill depleted coffers.
However, the emergency disaster funding only applies to the new fiscal year beginning Saturday, after FEMA indicated that it had enough money left to get through the rest of the current fiscal year.
If I'm not mistaken the Reps want to pay for the disaster relief.
They want to use the subsidies for the green bs to pay for it. Works for me especially when Barry's green crap has cost we taxpayers half a billion already. Money we are last in line to get back. Solyndra anyone.??
Put that money to good use. Disaster relief.
BTW- the chamber of commerce said Boehner/Cantor's bill was a job-killer that would kill 45,000 jobs
There would be a hell of a lot more jobs if the government stopped wasting money trying to "create" them.
disaster relief should be above partisanship.
The TPers were elected for one purpose.
If a bill comes to your attention that is not paid for, VOTE IT DOWN. That isn't to hard to understand is it?
They sent ANOTHER bill over to the Senate that had scant chance of passing. They wanted off-sets, for political purposes, in lieu of helping out people who need FEMA assistance.

The Democrats also oppose this particular offset, which would gut the Advanced Technology Vehicle Manufacturing Program, a Bush-era direct loan program designed to help the nation's automakers create new fuel-efficiency technologies.
Both the U.S. Chamber of Commerce and the National Association of Manufacturers oppose the offset provision, warning that the cut would eliminate thousands of jobs.
Why are Boehner & Cantor sending over job-killing bills even the Chamber of Commerce objects to?
