Inexcusable logic:

If Cantor so upset about spending why ready to pass exorbitant Sandy $? what comes from not thinking things thru.. B should quit in disgust

Memo to Rubin. We as a nation have never left states and people hit by natural disasters twist in the wind like this. You’d be setting a precedent that leads to nothing but bad things - primarily for the Southeast, West, and coastal regions.

It’s politicizing every natural disaster going forward. Every drought declaration (think farm country - a drought ongoing for the past couple of years and threatens trade and commerce for much of the country), hurricanes, tornadoes, earthquakes. Everything.

Holding up the bill for NY and NJ claiming that doing so is fiscal prudence is the height of fiscal recklessness.
