Oklahoma Will Be Declining Federal Aid, Right?

[Durant82]

I mean, both their Senators voted against giving relief to Hurricane Sandy victims so it's only natural they'd stick to their values, right?

[The Reckoning]

no they're taking it because they believed hurricane sandy aid had pork attached to it

It's only pork if it affects somebody else. I wonder what Christie thinks.

How exactly is this thread impacting Oklahoma City? Republicans always become enamored with sentimental bullshit whenever there's a shit sandwich full of hypocrisy staring them in the face. You have absolutely no defense for the Oklahoma senators' sanctimonious protesting of Hurricane Sandy relief so you're trying to go on a tangent about how classless it is to politicize a natural disaster that happened in a state full of people who wanted NY and NJ to not get any federal help.

Let me guess, you've been praying for all the victims?

Did the citizens of the state of Oklahoma pay federal taxes?

It's only pork if it affects somebody else. I wonder what Christie thinks.
You mean how would Christie view $58.8 million for forest restoration on private land, being put in disaster relief for Oklahoma? Hmm

I'm not understanding the point.

[ChumpDumper]

I'm for federal disaster relief in both cases. 36 Republican senators are already on record as not being for it in both cases. Let's see what they think this time around.

I don't think Tom "Dr No" Coburn is the kind of knee jerk politician. I imagine he would vote no, if the bill was filled with pork like the original Sandy Relief

[TeyshaBlue]

The pork isue is irrelevant to Coburn. The No vote is a default unless the aid is "paid for" by a corresponding cut somewhere else.

That's a poor way to manage disaster relief.

[TeyshaBlue]

politicizing disaster relief is fucking retarded.

[ChumpDumper]

I don't think Tom "Dr No" Coburn is the kind of knee jerk politician. I imagine he would vote no, if the bill was filled with pork like the original Sandy ReliefHe'll vote yes because he is precisely not a knee jerk politician.

He's just a politician.

[G-Nob]

Pork is retarded. Propose a disaster relief bill that is not a blank check for wasteful spending somewhere else. That is the only reason it failed. The biggest talking point of the election at the time was the economy and the more wasteful spending than any administration in history. Of course the lib media is going to cry foul because there is an election for their man to win a month later.

That was a “totally different” situation, Inhofe told MSNBC, arguing that the Sandy aid was filled with pork. There were “things in the Virgin Islands. They were fixing roads there and putting roofs on houses in Washington, D.C.”

Oh, the humanity! fixing roads in a less developed area and putting roofs on houses THAT WERE DAMAGED BY THE FUCKING HURRICANE.

Given how much of an issue you're taking with Durant82 and I politicizing this issue, why didn't you make a thread about the Republican senators politicizing the issue? Methinks two random message board trolls probably isn't as big a deal as 30+ senators.

Coburn: Disaster victims getting federal aid think they ‘don’t have to be responsible’Oklahoma Sen. Tom Coburn (R) on Sunday said that the federal government had “created kind of a predicate, that you don’t have to be responsible for what goes on in your state” by providing aid after disasters like the tornado that hit the Oklahoma City area last week.


Less than a week after the monster tornado did billions of dollars worth of damage to his state, CBS News host Bob Schieffer asked Coburn if now was the time to reform the way the federal government budgeted for disaster aid.

“I really do,” the Oklahoma Republican agreed. “We ought to have priorities about how we fund it instead of borrowing the money, and we ought to make sure the money is actually for the emergency at hand, not for four or five years later. And not allow to bill to be actually loaded up with things that have nothing to do with the emergency at hand.”


Coburn asserted that federal disaster aid should only kick in when local resources were overwhelmed, and he said that the “vast majority” of disasters did not meet that requirement.

“So, we’ve kind of transferred the responsibility for storms and damage to the federal government, instead of to the state government.” he insisted. “We’ve created kind of a predicate, that you don’t
have to be responsible for what goes on in your state.”


Just hours after the tornado hit last week, Coburn told CQ.com (http://blogs.rollcall.com/wgdb/coburn-wants-tornado-disaster-aid-to-be-offset/) that he would “absolutely” demand that aid be offset by spending cuts.

So where is Coburn's $10Bs rainy-day/tornado fund?

[angrydude]

From what I saw it looked like most of the damage was in residential neighborhoods.

Homeowners insurance is going to pay for a lot if not most of those damages. (Unless it's allstate. they never pay out, fuck them)

the government gives out LOANS (that have to be paid back) for the rest.

Only the super poor will get grants.

The common city infrastructure is what is the biggest concern.

[DUNCANownsKOBE]

It's Oklahoma so chances are the infrastructure sucked before the Tornado
