Hurricane Sandy aid package

[Wallace]

where's the money for the $50B aid package coming from ?

"(ABC News) Seventy-nine days after Hurricane Sandy slammed into the Northeast,
the House of Representatives voted this evening to approve about $50 billion of
additional relief for the region pounded by the storm."

Out of thin air, like the rest of our debt

My guess is that they increase the debt ceiling "again" before they reduce spending.

yeah, but the good thing about the relief bill is, there is like 58 million in it for NASCAR

plus a little for building highways in Guam

who is going to vote against a relief bill? So just pile on the pork

you see what is happening to those who vote against and don't go along

I personally don't believe in gang rape, but I guess if everybody else is doing it, I wouldn't mind getting a piece

If everybody jumped off a bridge, would you do it?

well, yeah, if they are all down there having fun, and I am the only one standing up on the bridge all alone

Exactly, it does come out of thin air....that is the exact answer that is to be given for a question like that.....
