Yep...Dickwad Coburn wants offsets for tornado aid

Sen. Tom Coburn (R-Okla.) will insist that any federal aid to deal with
the tornado in his home state must be offset by budget cuts.
“He will ask his colleagues to sacrifice lower priority areas of the
budget to help Oklahoma,” spokesman John Hart said. Should other
Republicans join Coburn, it could set up a fight similar to the January
tug-of-war over Hurricane Sandy funding. That aid package was delayed by
GOP opposition and ultimately passed with mostly Democratic support.

Sure, Tom...just eliminate the tax bennies for the oil companies in your
state, eh?
Good, the taxpayers have limited funds, they need to be dispensed
carefully.
We can raise taxes on the oil companies but, that will raise the price
of gasoline.
Remember, corporate taxes are the only way we get tax money from the
47% that don't pay federal income taxes.
Have a great day, Mikek
