Senate Republicans blocked a $7 billion aid package for victims of recent natural disasters like Hurricane Irene, tornadoes in the Midwest and the South and floods along the Mississippi, Missouri and other rivers.
Just two years ago, Republicans never thought twice about passing billion dollar legislation to rebuild Iraq and Afghanistan. They couldn't pass those bills quick enough. In fact, they called anyone who dared speak out against such bills anti-American and routinely questioned their patriotism. Spending money here at home on our own people is socialism and must be stopped, however. Wheee!!!
*Update:
Late last night Democrats overcame a GOP filibuster of the bill. Now it heads to the House where even more Republicans are going to insist helping and rebuilding America is not as important as helping Iraqis.
