As someone who lost his house to Sandy, I can think of lots of folks who would love it if you showed that attitude to our faces.
New York gives far more in funding to this country than it gets in order to help other less affluent states. In other words, we are not the takers. We are also the ones who sent tons of help to Katrina victims.
We are getting pretty sick and tired of carrying the water for others. Boehner and his ilk should be pushed out of power ASAP.
I am sorry for your loss. We were minimally affected by Sandy (thank goodness). We have given and will continue to give to an organization that directly helps Sandy victims.
That having been said, there is no way you can excuse Harry Reid in this mess. The Senate loaded up the bill with so much pork in it that it was really no longer a Sandy bill.
I support giving direct relief to Sandy and would support a bill that addresses that need alone.
I will not support the contiuned fiscal abortions the Senate spews forth.
Hope you and your family are doing well and have your immediate needs met. The nation *is* behind you.
