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.
Thank you and yes Reid is an ahole. The central point is that the overwhelming group in Congress has the worth of waste product. That said, the fact that Boehner was unreachable in the day leading up to the anticipated vote places him below all of them.
If he can’t lead, get him on the sidelines. Anyone who votes for him is dim.
