There was funding in that bill for Alaska and a handful of other states, certainly you would agree that has nothing to do with Sandy. Also a very large portion of the funding that was going to NY/NJ wasn't emergency funding but for long term projects some of which had absolutely nothing to do with the storm. It was a bloated bill.
Well I guess Texas will be on their own if they expect to get anything from Congress, though I am sure hypocrite Cruz will keep begging for money as he makes promises to others to bloat his bill.

What bill isn't? They all are.
I would trust the good Sen. Cruz would shoot down a bloated aide bill to his own state as well.

Wasting your breath. They don't want to know the facts
Janine Turner has founded a small but growing movement to gather Congressional support for introducing an Act to limit the size of legislative bills to 30 pages.

Hardly, bills always have added pork because Congress functions that way. Vote for my bill and I will make sure you get some benefit from it, it is basically how Washington works. I am sure Cruz is promising pork projects as we speak to get an Emergency Relief Bill passed for Texas.
Let's hope he does it while reading Green Eggs and Ham.
I just 'cruised' the original bill and the list of proposed amendments (Hurricane Sandy Relief).Me thinks one ought to read who sponsored what amendments before tossing stones. It was ripe with pork for southern states and defunding fish and wildlife, eliminating aide for any country other than Israel...
It's laughable. Congress at work
Anyone can find the real bill, absent of opine, at the Hill website. All public record. Try reading what's actually there, not what a pundit site tells you.

However stupid is as stupid does, I guess.
That is another tactic, don't like a bill, load it with pork then vote against it because the bill has too much pork that those against the bill added to it.

The contorted progressive left likes to layer on conspiracy theories in response to conversational challenges, when in the final analysis Cruz is still derided either way for voting against a bill.

All bills should be voted down until the pork is gone. No pork should get a free ride.
