Quiet about wild spending in Iraq and massive corporate welfare during the GOP reign, now that Americans need help, GOP leaders such as Tom Coburn think that the poor and homeless can just fend for themselves. Nice "united we stand" attitude.
"There has never been a time where there is more total spending and more wasteful spending in Washington than we have today," said Pat Toomey, a former Republican congressman from Pennsylvania and the head of the conservative Club for Growth. "There is ample opportunity to find the offsets we need so that this does not have to be a fiscal disaster as well as a natural disaster."So you guys have been running Congress for how many years and the White House since 2000 and you still have budget problems? Where the hell have you been and what have you been doing? Now that Americans need some help, suddenly it's time to run the other way. They should have thought about this before breaking the bank with tax cuts and an unnecessary war in Iraq.
Are these really the people we want jamming through a bogus commission on Katrina? They've made the mess with the budget and failed to protect Americans so why should we trust them now?
