We keep voting the bastards in. Why complain?
Vote them out!

Re: An eye-popping $13 billion would go to “mitigation” projects to prepare for future storms.


The article does not explain what mitigation projects mean. Possibly seawalls and major dredging projects, but the environmental agencies and greens would violently oppose these measures. Buying now worthless shore front homes and home sites could be plan, but these homes should not have been built in hurricane prone areas. And, the federal government should never have provided taxpayer subsidized flood insurance to encourage such development

Guaranteed to be another huge waste of our money.

The campaigner-in-chief seems to excel at making shopping lists, while lacking even the basic economic acumen to limit the spending to any kind of realistic budget.

Somewhere in the really tiny print there will be the requirement that only high cost union labor can be used, so that the democrat money laundering operations can continue. It takes a dozen union men half a day to install a stop sign. Whole careers will be built on repairing Sandy´s damage.

This is so wrong.

"Never let a crisis go to waste in screwing the taxpayers."

And people said Herman Cain was stupid to propose a limit of the length a bill could be, which was designed specifically to keep bills from being loaded up with non related items.

Just say no!

#7, yes, I remember. The GOP should not pass the bill through the House. No, nada, never. Quit getting bamboozled. Wake up.

Is there a provision that the homeless people will get to choose either a dumpster or a shed to live in?

Everything 0bama does is ´shovel ready´. What he´s ´shoveling´ is the key.

HINT: It ain´t jobs.

Poor Obozo is accustomed to an open account like the Stimulus funds... which never were accounted for. How he must hate sending this bill to congress.

Soon, he won´t even bother. He´ll just spend it.

Flush it! What part of broke doesn´t this bozo understand?

Obama´s going to get his graft for his donors one way or another.

And thousands of residents of the Red Hook housing project (people of color all) still have no power. Wonder why Kanye West didn´t say "Obama doesn´t care about black people."

Had to throw in the millions for Alaska -- to make Alaska look bad....

Com´on Sarah -- refuse the money....

Anyone who gives money to aid Sandy victims had best be very careful WHO they contribute to..... Check it out....

AND -- vote the DCmobsters out who keep extorting taxpayer´s money...

AND you wonder "why" WE conservatives are against hiking of taxes... The DCmobsters spend every penny they demand/mandate (take your pick).

Cuomo is trying to whitewash this by declaring ´there is no Plan B´. Get one buddy.

Well, there´s proof! There is no way to cut spending other than the military.
"Mitigation" can defined as the cost of umbrellas for the hundreds of new bureaucrats that will be needed to dole out the money to His supporters.

Each paid or volunteer would should prepare a coulda, woulda, shoulda, list.

Examples might be:

Why didn´t we preposition supplies of water, food, and generators on high ground central to each area, particularly each island, known to have flooding problems.

Why didn´t we have a review with officials of NY and NJ to ensure that all rolling stock had been repositioned to high ground and that temporary measures were taken to raise the ends of tunnels above the predicted storm surge of a category 1 storm?

Why does the Salvation Army have hot food and water immediately after the storm, while we don´t even know where our water is?

Line item veto

Republican Outrage?

(crickets)

It´s time to admit the fact that the U.S. Government is not working on the side of the American people. We need to throw them all out by whatever means and replace them with people who want to do the job right. It´s broken at every level and they don´t have the motivation to fix it because they have already taken care of themselves.

Nothing shows the shallowness of the media (ALL of them) and both political parties than the last few days. All eyes averted from the acute suffering going on in wrecked, moldy, needy neighborhoods from Sandy. Children and their parents are still suffering terribly. They are using Newtown as their excuse, of course. The real reason is the media WANTS to protect all the Dem pols and especially Obama from criticism. Disgusting!!!!!!!!

Oops...apologies for second post...

Pork has no fiscal cliff ?

Where did all of the donated money go ?

The victims of Sandy deserve more than they are getting, but for the Red Cross to put ads on TV asking for money while newscasts for Newton, CT are on is really crass.
