It is kind of funny to see people defending $140,000,000 in volcano monitoring/equipment/travel/placing the monitors on volcanoes/etc. and saying that he should have found something else to criticize.

Every other thing mention gets defended by somebody with the same logic. Isn’t it important to get tatoos off of gangs so that are no longer stigmatized? Republicans don’t really “care” about gang members do they?
How about $30 million for the salt marsh mouse? Republicans don’t really “care” about saving species, do they? They must be anti-science.
