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? When I'm hit with an emergency, the money comes out of the budget. Something else doesn't get funded. Why should the government be any different? |
