I wouldn't wish a natural disaster on anyone,
but good fucking grief:
"Cruz and Cornyn voted against the final Sandy aid package. During that debate, they voted for an amendment that would have cut domestic spending to pay for the emergency funding. Cruz at the time said that not all the funds were being allocated properly. Cornyn 'voted for a Sandy aid package without the unrelated spending, which included things like repairing fisheries in the Pacific,' said Cornyn spokesman Drew Brandewie.
Both senators wrote to Texas Governor Greg Abbott Friday urging him to expedite emergency funding for the state this time around.
The fiscal bind also extends to the White House. In 2005, Pence, who was then a congressman from Indiana, led an effort called Operation Offset aimed at requiring deep spending cuts to pay for Hurricane Katrina relief."
