It’s good that Rep. King and Governor Christie complained
about the House not voting on relief for the devastation done by Sandy. I’m glad they did it. There are people in New
York and New Jersey
in desperate need of assistance right now.
Some people are living in tents in freezing temperatures. The House of Representatives needs to pass
legislation to get money to the states to help those people and to help the
states and communities rebuild.
You know what else would be really good? It would be good if Representative King and
Governor Christie stopped voting against and blocking legislation that helps
people.
There are people across the country who need help even
though they haven’t been hit by a major storm.
Yet King has voted against funding for food stamps but for tax breaks
for the rich. Christie has cut taxes for
the rich and cut tax breaks for the elderly and disabled and is also opposed to
health insurance exchanges.
Both men, and the Republicans in Congress they both just
railed against, have opposed food stamps, unemployment insurance, student loan
reforms, the ACA, higher taxes on the rich and stimulus spending that would all
help individuals in need as well as the economy.
Sure, they should fight for Federal disaster relief to help
their constituents.
They should also fight to help the people in their states
and in the country who need help every single day.
