Mikulski requests money for snow removal
http://thehill.com/blogs/blog-briefing-r...-snowstorm

Quote:"We can't let this snow disaster turn into a budget disaster for Maryland."

WTF? Why should people in AZ or CA be responsible for clearing snow in Maryland or Virginia?

You think those states don't have their own budget issues? How are they now responsible for Maryland?

This isn't that big of a deal - politicians apply for federal disaster relief all the time. It's no different from mud slides or earthquakes in CA, flooding in the South, tornadoes, hurricanes, etc.

It's a state issue. We need to get away from this "look to the fed" bull****. If the Fed would stop anal raping the states they'd have money for these purposes.

If you're against Federal Disaster Relief altogether that's one thing. But you can't single out Maryland or Virginia is what I'm saying. I suspect every state in the USA has asked for relief at one time or another (many, many times over).

Someone please scrape the ice off the runways at Hartsfield-Jackson so my plane can land there tomorrow.

I understand your point. I do happen to be against Federal Disaster Relief.

This however shows how bad it has gotten. We had snow (I live in MD). Big whoop. But Maryland can't balance its budget, so suddenly it's a "disaster". BS. This is pathetic Maryland appealing to big-daddy federal government for an advance on its allowance.

Of course most of the country lives this way, which is why so many individuals and families have credit card debt or are getting foreclosed on. They don't live w/in their means to begin with, so anything unexpected (and everything is unexpected) creates a disaster.

+10,000.....

Everyone is happy if the other guy pays. This is how you DESTROY a democracy. You end up pitting sides against each other. Then the SOCIALIST stands up and says lets "vote & tax" to take all their money and spend it on us......

Rebel, you are right this BS has to stop.

Let the welfare people get rid of the snow. They are not busy anyway and it will give them the satisfaction of doing work to accomplish something.

The Fed is the disaster. And Reb you are so right about class warfare. My fear is the FED has mishandled the Social Security Trust Fund so badly that it will evolve into class warfare between old and young. That Disaster is what needs relief.
