GOP unsure about giving disaster relief to Missouri

Via ThinkProgress:

Firefighters and rescue workers who arrived in Joplin, MO, found that the deadly tornado that hit the state Sunday had left a “barren, smoky wasteland” in its path. Rescue workers worked through more storms in an effort to find potential survivors, even as the death toll rose to at least 119. President Obama pledged full support to the state Monday, telling survivors, “We’re here with you. We’re going to stay by you.”

House Majority Leader Eric Cantor (R-VA), however, said that before Congress approved federal funds for disaster relief, it had to offset the spending with cuts to other programs.

So the next time you're in a restaurant and you see someone choking, go over to him and ask to see his checking account balance before give him the Heimlich maneuver. After all, it isn't fair to let folks live if they can't balance a budget.
