re: #308 lawhawk

Midwest communities brace for record flooding. We’re going to see a whole lot of that in coming days and weeks across the Midwest. And the inevitable disaster declarations and requests for federal aid from representatives across the region, including those who rejected #Sandy aid or who demanded that Congress provide offsets for any aid package. I’m fully expecting that at least some will demand that aid for their constituents be free from any of those preconditions, laying bare the fact that this is all about politics and not about governance - good or otherwise.

As wrong as it is for me to say such a thing, I sort of wish that the feds would just outright deny aid to red regions in such events for the next couple of years. And when the inevitable wailing and gnashing of teeth comes about, simply point to their voting and campaigning record with regards to spending cuts and “gub’mint is too big, reduce spending” rhetoric.

Hey, you wanted smaller government, so here’s your smaller government. Figure it out yourselves, no more handouts and freebies.
