Sandy relief package passed in House.

Porky Pig Saved By the House

You happy now? All the cry babies from the N.Y. , N.J area who suffered Sandy.  Yes you need the money, but you were willing to go along with a Harry Reid endorsed bill that would have been for 60 billion dollars,  You know in my heart of hearts I think you were so desperate. That you didn't care that the bulk of that money was for projects that would not have helped you.  When I say that I mean. It would not have helped your  immediate needs. Part of it would have.  That is the part that should have been ok.  However, every tom dick and harry pet project would have benefited. Some of them not even remotely connected to Sandy. 

So the House did not vote on that bill. The reason was simple and understandable. It had more pork than the  Italian pork store in the Sopranos.  At a time that the country is in such a fiscal hole and the President got a spending bill that is absolute larceny under the guise of not going over the fiscal cliff. A made up crises if there ever was one. Labeled such by the Wall Street Journal.  Spending $ 41. and only cutting $1.00 in spending was the deal of the century for tax and spend liberal Democraps

First out of his box of dumb rocks was Sen. Chucky, as he likes to be called, Shummer.  The other was Rep. Peter King. The hugging fat boy from Jersey was next. Last but not least the village idiot Gov. from N.Y. Of course the media jumped upon it and accused the House Speaker of being a meanie. I know no one reads proposed legislation any more. It is a "just vote for it " type deal.  But a total bill of $ 60 billion dollars should have had some Senators seeing a red flag. Rep. Peter King from N.Y., was in the front row of critics and complainants. Posturing of course for his constituency. That was to be expected. The others represent another group that are always looking for more spending. So the House postponed the vote until the pork was taken out. Mean rascally Republicans.  I don't think so.  Fiscally responsible is more like it. 

There is one thing though. Why did this take so long to come up. It was something that they knew that they, I mean all of them ,would have to deal with. Why is everything on hold until it becomes something that needs to be done almost "on the fly".  It is the actions of cowards. What the hell are we paying these guys for. They have enough staff. You start to wonder if these people can read. Hey folks like that guy on the T.V. ads says. You know the R.J. Wentworth commercial. Folks, " It's your money". But you know what people.  It is more and more obvious that we don't have a say.  We are just required to pay. What ever happened to, " you pay you play", I guess not in the U.S.A
