The House GOP is still blowing it. They’re still votes short of being able to pass the balance of the $51b Sandy reconstruction aid.

70+ days and counting. No other recent disaster aid package has taken to long to pass. No reason for the delay other than partisan politics and internal bickering among GOPers.

They want to claim that this aid has to be offset by cuts in spending elsewhere, but that’s never happened before, or even required before - even in major storms like Katrina. Or Andrew. Or any other storm in memory.

These GOPers who are all of a sudden claiming fiscal responsibility would be crying bloody hell if the aid was held up for even half as long as the Sandy aid was.
