The new HOuse is sworn in what, day after tomorrow?

I am sure it will be high on their list.

That's what I am saying. Everyone is getting outraged that it wasn't on the dock tonight. What difference does it make if the funds wont drop in for another month?

Where in the Constitution is said "relief" authorized?

Where in the Constitution is said "relief" authorized?Yea, this whole idea that the Government has somehow become the country's FREE insurance provider is really silly.

And you don't hear the media getting on their case about it either.

But it is a socialist's dream.

more than likley the same place where- invading countries and getting over 4500 gi's killed for nothing--fly drones over countries , passing out relief to big business/oil/banks . every time there is a big distaster any where in the world we are there with help .

i guess what i am trying to say is what good is any goverment if we can't help other americans during a national distaster . we the people are the goverment .

everyone should have their own insurance to cover risks .

I think we can no longer afford the government we have.

We're borrowing money just so they can keep up the act.
