Trump raises pressure on Dems to back disaster aid bill threatened by Puerto Rico fight

Why does Trump not want to help Puerto Rico ?

You seem to imply that helping ordinary Americans in dire straits would be part of Trump's job description.

Think about it. You should easily see the error of your ways, and the Trumpleton crowd will certainly set you straight on that.

Safe drinking water is pretty standard in the civilised world.

They've had 3-4x the money needed to fix water supply in Puerto Rico. Roads too.

Hookers n blow.

Then why didn't Lush Rimjob just go there instead of the DR?

How come you don't cruise on down there and straighten 'em out, Pogo?

Trump raises pressure on Dems to back disaster aid bill threatened by Puerto Rico fight
But the fate of the legislation has been thrown into limbo amid a renewed fight over funding to help Puerto Rico after Trump criticized the island territory during a closed-door lunch with Senate Republicans last week.

The GOP bill, spearheaded by Sen. Richard Shelby (R-Ala.), includes $600 million for food stamps aid in Puerto Rico, which was devastated by back-to-back hurricanes in 2017.

But Democrats are warning they will block the bill as currently written. Though Republicans control the Senate, they need at least seven Democrats to vote for the GOP disaster aid proposal to get over Monday's procedural hurdle.

Sen. Patrick Leahy (Vt.), the top Democrat on the Senate Appropriations Committee, introduced an amendment to the GOP disaster bill to include a handful of additional provisions, including requiring the Department of Housing and Urban Development to release block-grant funding and money to help Puerto Rico repair damaged water systems.

Didn't you hear? You can't get there by truck!

This guy tried to. Then he found the island was surrounded by Big Water. You can see his reaction.

This looks like a pretty self-owning OP to me.

"But Democrats are warning they will block the bill as currently written. Though Republicans control the Senate, they need at least seven Democrats to vote for the GOP disaster aid proposal to get over Monday's procedural hurdle."

They are saying it is not enough.

What do they want? To rebuild Puerto Rico to the standards of the very expensive Green New Deal (Another way of saying the Paris Climate Accord) with tax payers' money.

The money and resources Puerto Rico was given over the decades should have had a modern road system. A modern electrical grid designed to withstand most hurricanes. A modern water distribution system. They were so spoiled the demanded a reduction of military presence there costing billions and billions of dollars. Give them their independence. Good riddance.

 

[Claudette]

They have gotten quite enough money from we the tax payer.

I wonder how much of it actually went to repair the damage. Not much I'd bet.

Trump did help Puerto Rico

The corrupt government misused the paper towels he gave them

They also had problem using the billions we've already given them.

We gave them all those paper towels and still they say it is not enough

Diga me Tonto --- where is there a "modern electrical grid designed to withstand most hurricanes"? Hm?

I returned to New Orleans five weeks after Katrina -- the first day we were allowed back in --- and there was no electricity anywhere, not even traffic lights. You did whatever work you could by daylight, because after sunset it was totally dark. And if you wanted to do anything like eat beyond the MREs you left town to find it somewhere else.

 

[Anathema]

The IS Government has already gone above and beyond what was legally and morally expected. The problem is that the residents of a US Territory want the US Government, which they do not pay into to not just rebuild their nation but to IMPROVE it.

Their nation was the equivalent of a broken down 1950s sedan thst has been in an accident and they want the Government to give them a brand new luxury car to replace it after the accident.

Mean while in China they are building more factories while you worry about paper towels and not the waste of hundreds of billions of dollars over a few decades. That island should be an example of what infrastructure could do in the Caribe region. Instead it is a toilet. And Trump is Trump.

 

[whitehall]

Fifty billion ain't enough to convince whiny libs that President Trump doesn't ....sniff....sniff "hate Puerto Rico"? Terry May can't seem to get a handle on on an issue the British people voted for. Does she hate conservatives?

 

[skookerasbil]

Could somebody PLEASE find the OP something to do!! Puerto Rico.....c'mon now. This is a CURRENT EVENTS forum. Might as well start a thread about Trumps concern about insect habits on Guam.

Puerto Rico.....lol.....Obama let Haiti rot after that earthquake!

Time to let PR become an independent country. We don’t need to support a nation of welfare queens that can’t function on its own.

Yeah but Pogo: Just like Puerto Rico, New Orleans corrupt politicians had squandered/pocketed the infrastructure money there for decades.

Same reason he tried to defund the special Olympics. They have to find ways to pay for the tax breaks they passed
