So Ted Cruz and company do not want to waste money on disaster help that has extra spending. Of course I am sure Texas will now be an exception. Screw everyone else.
Texas as a whole has elements that want to secede from the Union. I wonder if they still feel that way. Maybe we should let them go now that they are TOO EXPENSIVE for the budget. Sandy victims were too expensive and were denied help.
This double standard has to end. If it does not we have two nations. Santorum has come up with a plan to penalize blue states and make them pay more for health care.

Oops. Texas and Louisiana are ALREADY "taker" states.
I REALLY hope the Senators from New Jersey and New York make sure to point out loudly on the Senate floor, and with the press recording every word, that THEY are only too ready to vote for Federal help for their fellow countrymen in Texas and Louisiana, UNLIKE the Senators from Texas and Louisiana, who voted to deny help to THEIR fellow countrymen in New York and New Jersey when they needed it.
