Look at what the Republican/Tea Bags has done to the upper-class who actually voted for them. They by-passed making the wealthiest 1% pay their fair share of taxes to help America, and threw those making 400k under the bus. They covered their own butts, stopping the tax hike just where their wages, 250k, would kick in. “Everyone”, from the 1% to 99% should contribute fairly to pay down the debt and get our country moving. They should want to do it automatically. But the rich gets richer and the poor gets poorer. That trend needs to stop. We should finish cleaning the House in 2014.

12. 10.8 Billion for Public Transportation much of which is for future projects

There is much more.

How much of this is related to the Sandy Disaster and how much is pure pork projects?

What exactly did the two governors ask for in the way of aid?

Needed -or-pork?

The Republican/Tea Bags has put New Jersey and New York on the lay-away plan. They’ll pay half now and the other half later. Don’t that remind you of Wimpy in Popeyes: I would gladly pay you Tuesday for a hamburger today. This is too reminescent of New Orleans after Katrina.

Please tell me why a civilian needs a gun with 60 rounds for???
Do you think that a cop with a gun in school will prevent anything??. If somebody wants to go on killing mass of people all he have to do is shoot the door down with few rounds and before the cop gets off his fat butt and pull his wimpy gun he will be dead and so the others. Military weapons should not available to ANY civilian. Even deer hunters do not use machine gun for pit sake. My God you have a mentality typical of Republicon. Spin it ,spin it untill all believe it.
Even 2nd amendment do not say that civilians MUST have machine gun or a 60 rounds clip. Muskets and bayonets available then, yes technology is killing us using the 2nd amendment that says you have a right to bear arms against tyrannical government, not children in schools, churches or movie theatres.
Read it. US GOV> is not tyrannical – the people in the house are. Don’t like it – move to CHina – their economy is better, plenty of jobs for Americans corp in slave camps. Go and see for your self. I am in Import business and have been there many times – I do not IMPORT anything from there.
By the way get use to it, Obama is your President like it or not, despite your party working hard and wasting all the billions of dollars on useless, uncompassionate, empty suit man, who doesn’t even manage his own money, but makes on your back. If this country is in trouble LOOK IN THE MIRROR – people like you, and yours are the problem not a solution. Please name one of the PORKS in the Sandy BIll – just ONE. Can you?? NO – U R spinning Faux News just like Clinton sign herself to a hospital so she don’t have to testify about Benghazi. Hmmm, you people raise stink about that but NONE of you spoke about the contractors who died in Iraq and Afghanistan FOR NOTHING not to mention the IRAQ WAR – FOR NOTHING except for Haliburton (CHENEY and BUSH and ther SAUDIS made a killing in money – OUR MONEY AND LIVES OF US Soldiers.
They died for nothing, nothing nothing.

People, you voted them in or to stay on a job. They don’t care about you or the country, they care about themselves and their donors of big bucks. You bought it their BS LIVE WITH IT. You did not use your God’s given common sense but let it the BS influence your vote, so you voted, you got it, LIVE WITH IT. Next time use you brain and THINK.

Sorry you are wrong Congress is the only agency that can spend money, Obama can not delegate money unless congress approves. The Republicans House would only give the Sandy victoms 9.7 trillion in stead of the 60 trillion the Senate passed. I hope you are not envolved in a disaster. If guns make us safe we should be the safest nation in the world, we are not we kill more people withguns than any other nation. You came from immigrants, you say your who ever came from legal immigrants, The documentary of everyone entering this country was for records only, who the date from where, the ship and the time you entered. Sorry !you lost!

And yet, they have no problem providing WELFARE FOR THE WEALTHY, and EXCESSIVE TAX BREAKS for the SACRED COWS of the Right, GAS & OIL, THE INDUSTRIAL MILITARY COMPLEX, ETC.

How in God’s name do they sleep at night?
