Less than one day after the ‘Fiscal Cliff’ crap was finally passed they start eating their own for not voting to spend even more money.
That Sandy relief bill is chocked full of pork. It went through the Senate, and they all threw every bit of pork they could at it. Even the bacon bits in the cafeteria are in there. Among other things there is money to Pacific Islands like Palau. Money to foreign countries, ect.
This is part of why we are 16.4 trillion in debt. As a body they can never say no, and Republicans never met a spending bill they didn’t like as long as it benefits them. I remember hearing Christie going after the unions…yet turns around and wants 60 billion from Federal tax payers for his state. Fuck him. Let NJ rebuild NJ. No one asked them to go build houses on barrier islands on the literal beach with one or two roads in or out. They can’t get insurance because it would be retarded to insure someone who builds a house on a beach. So their governor and others decide to throw a hissy fit and make a public embarrassment out of fellow Republicans because they want the tax payer to pay to rebuild their state.
And this Peter King guy…whining about people fund raising, and at least he is honest about whats expected when you give money to politicians. A certain ‘return’ is expected, and why even the bacon bits were not safe from the Sandy Relief Bill. But it just goes to show how institutionalized the corruption has become when you have politicians openly whining about donors not getting Federal tax dollars back from their ‘investments’. I wouldn’t be shocked if they had price sheets they hand out to the top donors.
If they would have required power companies to move their transmission lines into the 20th century when it was the 20th century, they wouldn’t have had the protracted outages they did, for one.
The pork alone was reason enough to reject it. Christie’s anger is misplaced. He should be mad at every lawmaker that inserted the pork, not house leadership. Perhaps he mistook the failure to bring it to the floor as payback for sucking Obama’s dick in the wake of Sandy?
King is a magnificent douchebag already. To hear him whine pleases me.
Either way, it appears that BooHoo Boehner is working overtime to lose the speaker postion. I wonder who’s shoulder he’s crying on these days? :rolleyes:
None of them have any principles. It’s all party allegiance, popularity contests, and abuse of their positions. As time goes by they are just getting worse and worse mother don’t deserve to be there.
Not to mention all the union crap and gas price laws. Then they have the nerve to demand the nations tax payers pay for their rebuilding. If their little liberal meccas worked so well they wouldn’t need to go on national tv and demand tens of billions of dollars we dont have.
If they hadnt of TURNED AWAY HELP from men I KNOW PERSONALLY who left home & family to go up and help those stupid fuckin sheep they would have been better off a lot sooner, too.
We folk from the south have caught hell for years about being dumb stupid, ect. But, as one who has been all over every state in the north hundreds of times, Ive NEVER once seen the level of pure,
textbook STUPIDITY as Ive witnessed “up north”. Most…NOT ALL…of you people dont know your ass from a hole in the ground. When tornadoes absolutely rip thru Alabama here, we would NEVER turn away help. But…you know what? YALL NEVER OFFERED! Ive not heard of ONE PERSON who heard of ANY help from up north being offered last year when we had whole, entire TOWNS removed from the earth. I told all the linemen I know Id let em all fuckin freeze before I went up to help. But they had to follow orders. And sitting all night TERRIFIED of looters, rapists/murderers/gangs completely unarmed because “we dont like guns”. Ok, good. Be robbed, raped, and murdered then. FUCK YOU very much,I say.
REAP…what you have sown. Im GLAD they didnt vote for the aid myself. They know so much…fix shit yourselves.
And who is “they.” If the Department of Energy (or some analogous government agency) mandated upgrades to transmission lines and distribution infrastructure costing hundreds of millions of dollars with those costs passed through to consumers in the form of higher utility bills, I suspect many folks would have screamed bloody murder about excessive regulatory overreach driving up utility costs and hurting the little guy.
So if the utility upgrades were mandated by the state utility regulatory agency with resultant costs born by New Jersey customers, that’s acceptable? But if a federal agency mandates the same (perhaps in the interest of maintaining continuity throughout a larger interstate electrical grid), that’s verboten?

And by the way, all of the often one dimensional thinkers here freaking out over aid to a fellow state, spend a little more time ranting (elsewhere) about the billions that go to hostile or otherwise unworthy nations.
It’s bad here politically and I’m not defending that part of it by any means, but there are way, way bigger fish to fry.
SafetyHit-
Yep…12 hours a shift. Been working for right at 40 years now.
YOU?
And…fyi…you are CORRECT about the hostility I have towards most of the country, especially your region.
Infantile…well, thats like YOUR opinion, man. Im very glad youve got one.
Il tell you this, in a SHTF or just all around bad scenario, Id rather be with these academic failures than all the geeks and techies put together up there. Who do YOU think would fare better?
And Ill tell you this…I myself am GLAD we didnt get help “help” from up there. And, not a single person down here sat for one minute “scared” of looters muggers, rapists ect. Hell, I WANTED to find some! Im SO GLAD we didnt have to rely on Schumer & Bloomberg for our “help & safety”. How’d THAT work out?
From what Ive heard…NOT TOO GOOD.
And yall STILL waiting & wanting even more handouts from taxpayers. I HOPE to hell they dont get SHIT.
Well, then, let’s burn the Constitution and dust off the Articles of Confederation as that seems to be the consensus here. Heck, they worked so well the first time I’m sure they will more than adequately meet our needs today.
Good night and good luck.
Us Montana boys gotta get busy retargetting our Minuteman III missiles, as we apparently just became the most sparsely populated superpower on the planet.
As far as I go, you couldnt be more wrong sir.
Once again, as before, weve got Lib Northener’s trying to impose their will and way of life on other folk who aint havin it.
IF there is a “next time”, well I wouldnt bet my Bowl O’ Boston Baked Beans that the outcome will be the same as last.
If EVERYBODY would just follow the Constitution…we’d all be drinkin that free bubalub and eatin that rainbow stew.
But noooo, it ALAWAYS starts up north for some reason. Or, Kalifornia nowadays too.
And sadly, you “Montana Boys” aint in charge of jack shit, as far as those missles go. Could be some ole Southern boys up in there, or some yanks either.
Got nothin but love for Montana tho, true beauty there.
