"Everything our government does should worry about pay-fors"
Bull , the debt is due to the wars, the corrupt MIC, the Repug tax cuts, and the criminal Banksters' Great Depression.
USA has a Repug-policy-driven, starve-the-beast revenue problem, not a deficit problem.
You're arguing with a bot, dude.
what goalpost was moved?

bidibidibidi vrwc bidibidibidi repug tax cuts bidibidibidi.............
We're basically saying the same thing. Get the aid done, then figure out how it should be paid for.
I wouldn't really refer to something as a "pay-for" unless it's negotiated/decided on at the same time as what it's paying for, but that's just me.
"Everything our government does should worry about pay-fors."
How about wars-for-oil?
Has everyone forgotten what the Red Cross is for?
Red Cross is surely out there as well, but I don't think they are prepared to handle that volume/monetary value of requests.
Are you against government assistance in emergencies across the board? Or just federal government assistance?
That's what insurance is for.
I am not for bailouts. These people have insurance, or should have if they didn't. It is not the job of the tax payer to make politicians look good. Liberals buy votes by being those who subsidize people with other peoples money.
Republicans ax clean-car program to fund disaster relief by same amount they cut it in 2012 budget
ust when you think the Republicans can't get even more out of touch, one of them red-lines the outrageous gauge in a new category. We saw that Monday when House Majority Leader Eric Cantor (VA-07) said that tornado victims in Joplin, Mo., would only get emergency relief if money could be chopped from somewhere else in the federal budget. The House Appropriations followed up Tuesday by doing exactly that.
If emergency relief requires a budget offset, why not provide it by chopping some tax "incentives" from Big Oil?
Oh, yeah, I forgot. Never mind.
Where will the money needed for disaster relief come from? From America's underfunded investment in technology designed to wean the nation off fossil fuels, natch.
Rep. Robert Aderholt's (AL-04) amendment lops half-a-billion from the Advanced Technology Vehicles Manufacturing Loan Program at the Department of Energy. At the same time the committee was transferring this money so that a billion dollars could be provided to people affected by floods and tornadoes, it whacked $1.07 billion from the Homeland Security appropriations bill for disaster aid and firefighter funding in fiscal 2012. If myopia could be monetized, these guys would make the Koch Brothers look like beggars.

all Repugs assholes.
Struck out in this thread. Zero reponse.
Who else?
With tornado insurance as cheap as it is, why would a home owner not have it?
In MI, how much? Show me.
sINCE YOU SEEM TO KNOW SO MUCH ABT IT
With 1 billion of it headed to Pakistan and zero headed to Missouri.
How much does it cost exactly? I'm not familiar with it.
Obviously no money deserves to go to Pakistan especially considering recent events. Tornado victims will get aid in Missouri .With 1 billion of it headed to Pakistan and zero headed to Missouri.
People better start coming to reality that we our in a huge debt and these natural disaster victims will not get as much aid do to this fact.
lol..get back to us when we fight one.
$10Bs wasted in tax expenditures for Corporate-Americans, but Human-Americans' disasters go begging.
lolz
From what I've seen, windstorm insurance, in texas at least, usually ends up costing between 1/4 and 1/2 what homeowners insurance would cost (large variance based on construction materials and where in the danger area you are).
This or that can be 'cheap' when you have a source of income. 1 out of 12 people in Missouri are unemployed though... that's a lot of people to just leave on the street...
