You Disgust Me, Christie Tells Boehner over Aid

[SalisburySage]

Boehner is a vile, disgusting man, as we all know...Now members of his party are calling him out over his refusal to vote on the aid package for the victims of Sandy...

Way to go John!!

http://finance.yahoo.com/news/disgus...203732608.html

The problems with the bill for Sandy Victims and the Fiscal Deal Bill is that they are so full of Pork you would be hard pressed to tell the difference between the bill and a PIG.

Included in the bill are things like money to go to Hollywood to help promote the movie industry. In fact there is 9 BILLION in Pork.

“It’s disgraceful to load a bill like this that has good motives, that has good intentions that is going to help people, with pork,” he added. “Why are you putting your own projects in it. It’s disgraceful. It’s typical of Washington.”

In an email to TheBlaze, Meyer explained that $1 out of every $20 spent in the Sandy bill will go to “non-relief-related pork.”

I'm no fan of Pork but it makes up less than 1% of the 60 billion. Again, its never been a problem in the past for disaster relief, why now? Is it because NY and NJ are Blue states?

Could it be we were scheduled to fall off the fiscal cliff on December 31st and the incompetents in Washington waited until the last minute to try and resolve it?

This country is going broke. There is not enough money to keep this pork going. No spending cuts simply tax increases. Both parties make me sick.

I'm am so with you Mom.

I want to clarify, the money for Hollywood and the Rum companies was not in the Sandy relief bill. I meant to post this under the Fiscal Cliff bill. Sorry!

You have no authority. Feel free to stamp your feet if you want though, if it makes you feel better.

Likewise. Do you feel better now?

This is all BS. There's a side to the story we're not hearing. The media can't be trusted to report the truth.

[naive]

Votes are set for Friday and Jan 15th...

The 60 billion dollar relief package is expected to pass...

There is no mention of any pork removal or insertion in this article..

I guess Boehner was simply tired from holding this nation by his noose during the "fiscal cliff" debates...

And so the reckless spending continues and you folks give it a standing ovation. Unbelievable. I should be surprised. Alas, I am not.

•$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.

And this is the problem. From what I heard, the immediate need is about $9B, yet here we are are at $60B.

Just like the tax bill. Loaded with crap from top to bottom. And everyone is demonizing Boenher. Demonize the people who continually waste our money and are running us off the real cliff at an ever increasing pace.

Per your hero Christie, only 400 million of the 60 billion is Pork

The bill actually began around 80 billion but was lowered to 60 billion.


Depending on how you add it up, which depends on what you consider “pork,” it comes to something as low as $400 million or something just under $1 billion dollars. The entire Sandy Relief Bill adds up to just about $60 Billion, so we’re talking about a relatively infinitessimal amount of money in the grand scheme of things

Governor Christie made the point that he didn’t think that such as small amount of extraneous spending should hold up a bill that he believes is desperately needed in his state to recover from the worst natural disaster the state had ever experienced. Supposedly to address these concerns about “pork,” the House had drafted its own version of a Sandy Relief Bill that didn’t include the extraneous spending that many on the right were complaining about. Boehner not only didn’t bring up the bill that had passed the Senate for a vote, he refused to even bring the House’s own bill up for a vote

The GOP is foul foul party.

I see it falling and a new party coming to power in the near future.

None of them are my hero. I don't give a flying flock whether they are Rs or Ds anymore, they are all complicit.

Maybe it doesn't bother you that our government is so screwed up they can't do a couple of straight forward things without loading crap into them.

And it will continue and we'll get taxed into oblivion and our money will get sent down ***** holes. Your hero as much as said so the other day. He's coming for more money and eventually he'll get around to the folks who really pay the freight in this country.

Both parties need to fall apart.

The finger pointing by the politicians and their constituents is ridiculous and serves no purpose. These people are not serving their fellow citizens -- they are serving themselves.

This country is at a "Y" in the road and lines are being drawn. Congress is a "house" divided showing proof of this analogy. Will we have a huge intrusive socialist government or will it be downsized and less intrusive? History has shown us that socialism does not pay the bills and governments had no choice but to downsize if they want to survive. Just ask Russia.

Keep on spinning that load of nonsense. The pork in the bill IS massive and uncalled for in this time of economic disaster.

So they voted for the 100 billion in Pork in the Fiscal Cliff deal but drew a hard line at 400 million in Pork in the Sandy bill?
