January 11, 2013, 9:56am (report abuse)Another bill more pork and simply wasting my tax dollars. The insurance companies say the cost of Sandy is $20,000,000,000 yet our woeful Congress led by Schumer, Reid, Pelosi all leap to another $45,000,0000,000 to the bill just because it is a "crisis" and they think no one will see them. Obama and "crises" go hand in hand down the road to bankruptcy. Tra la la.

Our debt is so high we will never be able to pay it off let alone make a serious effort to reduce it if we keep coming up with ways to spend. No new spending should be allowed without a reduction in an existing program!

Provided a one time grant to those that lose everything $30,200 per house. Government didn't cause the flood but did HELP those 3100 households which was great, my aunt was one of them. Why does the eastern seaboard want more than that? Government isn't our savior to return everything back to normal. The BILLIONS requested go way beyond.

And if WE can't keep it refilled, our children and grandchildren can try to keep it full enough for our socialist leaning politicians.
