House GOP Scraps Sandy Relief Bill
House Republicans on Tuesday nixed a bill that would have given billions in emergency relief to Hurricane Sandy victims, according to New York lawmakers. The bill was pulled by Speaker John Boehner, according to New York Republican Peter King, who called the decision ?almost indefensible.? King, a longtime party faithful who chairs the powerful House Homeland Security Committee, threatened to leave the GOP on Wednesday morning. The Senate approved the $60.4 billion measure for Hurricane Sandy relief on Friday. President Obama joined in the chorus calling on the House to vote on the bill, issuing a statement saying, "When tragedy strikes, Americans come together to help those in need. I urge Republicans in the House of Representatives to do the same."

Some of the bill?s spending has little connection to Sandy. There?s $150 million in aid for fisheries in Alaska, which is more than 3,300 miles away; $2 million for a new roof for the Smithsonian and $8 million for equipment for the Homeland Security and Justice departments. :shrug:

We have a spending problem

No wait...... we don't ....NM I think congress just fixed it :SIB

KOD -

They hide this stuff in other bills because it has no chance on it's own. If the authors of this BS legislation had to put their name behind each of these pork subsidies and then members had to have their names attached to yays and nays, this shit would never see the light of day.
