Politicians always seem to have ulterior motives that revolve around their own personal gain. Voting on federal relief for people that obviously need it is just dumb. There shouldn't be a vote. It's a disaster, it's our country, it's our people. Help them out.
The other issue is when there are earmarks put in to these bills that have no basis. Tell me what does $8 million to buy new cars for Homeland Security and $150 million for Alaska fisheries have to do with disaster relief on the east coast (but those were in the Sandy bill)
The price of getting a bill passed, king. The whole fucking system stinks.
No I understand. It's all a damn game. Dirty and nasty.
We are not made happy by what we acquire but by what we appreciate.
