Mulvaney (R-SC) – This offset amendment to the Rogers AINS – intended by the sponsor to offset the $17.0 billion appropriation in the Rogers AINS – would rescind 1.63 percent of all discretionary FY13 budget authority. This rescission includes defense and non-defense discretionary spending, which totals $1.047 trillion for FY13 not including disaster or emergency spending.
the rest: http://www.salon.com/2012/11/04/hurr...ng_is_madness/New Jersey was really a giant science experiment,” he’d told me. “New Jersey was the home of some of the first vacation spots and one of the first places to arm their beaches. Thanks to New Jersey we learned that any sort of hard stabilization—sea walls, groins, and jetties—was very damaging to the beach. We learned that the damage occurs just by building something fixed by the beach—could be a highway, for instance. The problem of beaches is that they are eroding and always moving. The beach tends to move toward that fixed thing and get narrower and narrower and narrower until it disappears altogether.”
What bill is that you linked to? Kerry, Thomas and Justin voted for it. It must be a fantastic bill!

Read the description under the link. It's Mick Mulvaney's amendment that would have cut $17 billion across the board to pay for the $17 billion in Sandy funds.
So around 60 GOP members want to go $17bn in debt to pay for Sandy relief.
Absolutely unacceptable and this should be used to throw them out.
Not just $17 billion.
There were many Rs who voted for the initial $9 billion a couple weeks ago and another $34 billion in a different amendment today, all without offsets.
And Boehner violates the "majority of the majority" rule again.
It took him a week to break that promise.
