New Jersey is going into Texas, despite Texan refusal to help aid Jersey during Hurricane Sandy. I think that speaks volumns. At the end of the day, I believe all American's will pitch in to help and help pay.
Oh, so no Texans went to help out New Jersey during Sandy? I call bull****. The Sandy Aid Relief bill wasn't emergency funding. It was a year after the storm. Ted Cruz is a douche who was newly elected to the Senate on the Tea Party platform, which was popular at the time, and he thought he could ride this wave all the way to the White House. I am cynical enough to think he and John Cornyn and all those state reps wouldn't have done it without Ted (they had to outdo Ted or think they may lose next time), and they wouldn't have done it if they knew the bill wouldn't pass without their votes. If they knew the bill wouldn't pass without their votes, enough of the delegation would have voted yes for it to pass.
I don't even know why they thought it would be a bad idea to vote yes on it for their constituents. No one in Texas was against Sandy relief. That's just stupid. Ted Cruz probably thought he could have a record of opposing pork laden bills to run on in 2016. It didn't work out for him. He forgot you have to actually be likeable to win a national election. I'm surprised he ever won a Texas election, honestly. He makes my skin crawl.
Cruz added, however, that the Sandy bill was "a $50 billion bill filled with pork and unrelated spending that wasn't hurricane relief."
"It was simply local members of Congress spending on their pet projects and two-thirds of what was spent in that bill had little or nothing to do with Hurricane Sandy," Cruz said.
This is a Facebook video one of the first responders took of the overflowing creek near my home (it was taken yesterday). This is why people must never attempt to drive in high water.
What this says is that some New Yorkers and New Jerseyans have a lot more class that many Texans.
What this says is New York and New Jersey politicians are low life scumbags trying to profit off of others misery. Those scumbags stole $100 million that Zuckerberg donated for schools. Nothing those low life, common yankees do, ever surprises me.
They better not. Homeowners are not entitled to coverage they did not pay for. This would be like wrecking your car and then buying a policy the day after and demanding they cover the loss.
Its funny how it works. If only few hundred houses are flooded, they are on their own, but if thousands to, then they get bailed out.

They are indeed hypocrites. Hypocrites who, I believe, are entitled to relief aid. They are Americans first, pathetic unrepentant hypocrites second.
Ted Cruz can, as far as I'm concerned, suck a ****. But he can suck a **** after he's given some bottled water, paid for by the American people. That's the American way.
