murder Member	Tue Jan 14 07:17:00 Republicans always pull this same bullshit. And then Democrats trip over themselves to send disaster relief to red states. The cycle never ends. -
Rugian Member	Tue Jan 14 07:19:28 Conditions should be placed on the aid. Who here *actually* trusts the state to responsibly spend any dollars it receives?
murder Member	Tue Jan 14 07:20:27 And jobs and money. http://www...vestment-republican-districts/ Republicans opposed it. Tried to kill it. Reaped 75% of the benefits. Claimed credit for it. And still oppose it. -
murder Member	Tue Jan 14 07:22:25 It's impossible to even insult them anymore because whatever you insult you can possibly hurl at them ... they are far far worse. Calling them demonic wouldn't begin to cover it. -

patom Member	Tue Jan 14 07:34:19 Let's see now, Louisiana has received over $12 billion in relief from the Fed just for one hurricane. Katrina. It's been hit multiple times and received many Billions in aide from the Federal Gov. How about the rest of the country just turn its back on Louisiana or tell them to abandon New Orleans and rebuild on high ground? Here is a list of the top 10 recipients of Federal aid over the last 5 years. New York: $16.06 billion Louisiana: $5.57 billion Texas: $3.86 billion New Jersey: $3.57 billion Florida: $2.61 billion California: $1.7 billion North Carolina: $716 million South Carolina: $555 million Mississippi: $308 million Missouri: $208 million
Rugian Member	Tue Jan 14 07:37:01 Money sent to Republican states actually gets put to good use. Money sent to California ends up getting spent on the white elephant that is CAHSR or funding reparation checks to black people. This is the same state that treated one-time Federal COVID aid as a permanent revenue item, and then was shocked the next year when they realized they were suddenly running a massive budget deficit. The state has a GDP that dwarfs most countries on the planet as well as the highest income taxes in the country, and yet they're crying poverty. Lol. Democratic misgovernance in a nutshell.
patom Member	Tue Jan 14 07:42:31 Hurricane Katrina, Louisiana got 12.1 billion " Laura/Delta----------- 1.05 billion Ida/May--------------- 2.1 billion I remember Ted Cruz squealing like a stuck pig because Obama came to the aide of New Jersey.
Average Ameriacn Member	Tue Jan 14 09:10:21 California has a lot of illegals. California should force the illegals to rake the forests for free. The top 5 per cent of rakers are allowed to stay, the other 95 must return to Mexico and Spain.
Paramount Member	Tue Jan 14 09:37:23 Here is a list of the top 12 recipients of Federal aid over the last 5 years. Ukraine: $175 billion Israel: $34 billion or more over the last 5 years New York: $16.06 billion Louisiana: $5.57 billion Texas: $3.86 billion New Jersey: $3.57 billion Florida: $2.61 billion California: $1.7 billion North Carolina: $716 million South Carolina: $555 million Mississippi: $308 million Missouri: $208 million
Average Ameriacn Member	Tue Jan 14 09:46:14 Paramount that is a lie. Show me proof that Trump gave anything to Ukraine 5 years ago!!!!
murder Member	Tue Jan 14 09:55:00 "Here is a list of the top 12 recipients of Federal aid over the last 5 years." The Russia fanboys are out of control.
Paramount Member	Tue Jan 14 12:41:39 The $175 billion to Ukraine is during that past 2 years only. It will be $427.5 billion in 5 five years if the trend does not change. But Mr Trump is wise and may put an end to it.
patom Member	Wed Jan 15 04:16:35 Paramount, the 175 billion to Ukraine isn't a cash handover. It is calculated in US made munitions and equipment. Which oddly trickles down to US manufacturers and their employees. The option is to lay off a lot of US citizens. Sit back and wait for Russia to take over Ukraine and being emboldened continue west through Europe. Trusk and company can impose an isolationist zone until it's almost too late and then we can do a repeat of WWII.
