I am for one glad it got blocked! This is the most bull I have ever seen. No other aid bill has ever had so much crap in it. So little of the 60 billion dollars for "sandy aid" is going to sandy victims there is money for the Smithsonian museums and all other kinds of crap the liberals are trying to tight in a nice little package and call it Sandy Relief so they can do exactly what they are doing now and try to make the republicans look bad. I know every bill has pork spending in it, but this one hast to be the mother of all! Look it up if you dont believe me!

Sandy relief shouldn’t include fisheries in Alaska.
Sandy relief shouldn’t include $5.3B to the Army Corps of Engineers (that’s more than their annual budget).
Sandy relief shouldn’t include $56.8 million for charting the debris from last year’s Japanese tsunami.
Sandy relief shouldn’t include $41 million for eight military bases including Guantanamo Bay.
Sandy relief shouldn’t include $100 million for the federal Head Start day care program.
Sandy relief shouldn’t include $188 million for new Amtrak lines (not repair, whole new lines).
Sandy relief shouldn’t include $20 million for a nationwide “Water Resources Priorities Study”.
Sandy relief shouldn’t include $4 million for the Kennedy Space Center. [Which is in Florida. Which was completely untouched or affected by Hurricane Sandy.
Oh, btw, that Corps of Engineers Sandy funding? Obama Admin has it earmarked for addressing "impacts associated with a changing climate.”]

Great question. They will never get it. When you are standing in the hole put the shovel down!

This is what they call a "Christmas Tree Bill." Everyone wants to hang something on it. Are you so sure that all of this pork came from Democrats? The bill wasn't voted down; it never got voted on. Republicans like Gov. Chris Christie and Congressman Peter King (who took time from looking for Muslims under the bed) are also furious that the bill wasn't voted on.

I can, however, see that the Army Corps of Engineers would be needed since they are in charge of things like dredging harbors.

It's their typical pork. Now, though, we are so much in debt. It's like the grave is dug and they are turning to hit the populace with the shovel to knock us out and push us in the hole.
