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 |

Something else doesn't get funded. Why should the government be any different? You can't print your own money. (at least without going to jail) Funny stuff, albeit second hand, from John the Racist. I don't recall him whining about Bush's unfunded wars. But to suggest the war went "unfunded" is just the rant of an unreasonable man. Somebody paid for the bullets and the bombs, thus, they were funded... but do carry on, spin the pinwheel and repeat your next "thread starter". LOL! Whatever it stops at. it's STILL ****ing garbage. |

I am OK with taking that money out of Oklahoma's slice of the pie. I do wonder what kind of money your typical Okie pays for insurance. Here in Florida it can easily be over $5k a year for a fairly modest home with a very large deductible in the case of storm damage. Oklahoma is in the top three of states requiring federal disaster assistance. The other two are Texas and California. I wonder if Oklahoma folks are in some special homeowners' insurance pool because of their location in tornado alley. Paying more in Florida or, in fact, right along the east coast, seems reasonable, what with the frequent hurricanes. ---------------- That’s list seems a little odd. Most of our disaster assistance is forest fires. And OK has had tornados, but cost wise over the years, I would figure hurricane and flood damage to be top of the list. And that is the south and midwest. My personal favorite in government and insurance stupidity is in making federal flood insurance available to property owners who live right along the coastal shorelines on the East Coast and the Gulf of Mexico. You just *know* what is going to happen there, sooner or later, and perhaps more than once. Shoreline development should not be encouraged in areas known to welcome hurricanes. ----- The Russian River here floods regularly. Well gets very high. Flooded vacation homes along the river. Maybe 20 years ago, the government said no more disaster relief, build in a flood plane, and you pay for it. Except, the state legislature was bought and declared a huge area near Sacramento, not a flood plane. Now when the Feather River levee breaks, the state taxpayers are on the hook for any damage. |
