Sandy Spending a Windfall for Politicians!

Obama's request, as detailed in a letter sent to Capitol Hill by the director of the White House's Office of Management and Budget, Jeffrey Zients, includes these requests:

— “This request would provide $4 million to the Federal Bureau of Investigation to replace vehicles, laboratory and office equipment, and furniture damaged as a result of Hurricane Sandy.”

— “This request would provide $2.4 million in response to Hurricane Sandy to replace destroyed or damaged vehicles, including mobile x-ray machines at ports of entry in New York and New Jersey, and other equipment.”

— “This request would provide $1 million to the Drug Enforcement Administration, which would be used to repair or replace over 15 vehicles, information technology equipment, and antennas and repeaters at sites affected by Hurricane Sandy.”

— “This request would provide $855,000 to replace Immigration and Customs Enforcement law enforcement vehicles damaged in Hurricane Sandy.”

— “This request would provide $300,000 to replace Secret Service law enforcement vehicles as well as associated communications equipment permanently damaged by flooding associated with Hurricane Sandy.”

— “This request would provide $230,000 to the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives to replace three vehicles, repair communication lines, and replace damaged furniture as a result of Hurricane Sandy.”

Part of that is $150 million for “fishery disasters,” which means money could flow to Mississippi’s blue crab and oyster industries, and to Alaska, where one senator said Chinook salmon have suffered.

“These much-needed funds will help make communities whole and hopefully help fund research on factors affecting Chinook returns,” Sen. Mark Begich, Alaska Democrat, said in a statement touting the funding.

Mr. Begich said some other money in the bill could be used to clean up debris on the Pacific Coast from the 2011 tsunami that devastated Japan and rippled across the ocean.

In a statement, Begich expresses his pleasure with his own request. "I am pleased Senate appropriators recognized the need for funds to respond to the 2011 tsunami debris," Begich says, according to his office. "It will be up to NOAA to decide how to allocate those funds between needs for East Coast Sandy response and West Coast tsunami debris response, so I will work closely with the agency to ensure Alaska's needs get fairly considered."

They can NEVER find a single thing to cut...


:cool:
 
Their horned toad is defective and their rock candy has glazed over.
 
What do you propose they cut?

Head Start

It doesn't work other than the intended purpose of taking money from whites and giving it to minorities...

And that's just for a start.

Now go fuck yourself.

I don't have time for Socialists...
 
So does mine.


But the Little Girl at the burger joint last night was mooning over the old Dodge. She asked several questions, including, "what's it got in it?"


She nodded when I said "a 383" like she had a clue what I was talking about.


Maybe I should paint it Hemi Orange after all.

Good choice.

I shall attend the silk fair once the killin' is done...

One step closer to ignore...

I am tired of trying to be reasonable with people who think that such things are the old-fashioned and out-dated habits of a Leave it to Beaver World that never existed...

Then you're also against public education because it takes money disproportionately from whites and gives it disproportionately to minorities.

There's plenty of research that backs the effectiveness of Head Start, you just choose to filter it out.
 
A person can start being a head any time they'd like . . . on their own.
