Wow, just amazing. Republican senators have decided that Hurricane Sandy victims only need $24B in help. That's a major cut in the proposed $60.4B Democrats floated for relief.
Under Republican control of Congress and the White House, Congress handed out over $62B just over a week after Hurricane Katrina had devastated Louisiana and parts of Alabama and other states.
Republicans, having lost the vote for the White House, have seemingly decided to hit back at upper Northeast voters by sticking the costs of cleaning up, temporary housing and rebuilding to the people who are net payers, as opposed to the net takers (Southern states).
Leave it to Republicans to carry out rank retribution against their fellow Americans.
