We have the man power sitting idle and the resources to accomplish anything. This is not about money it is about teaching VT a lesson in standing up to Nuclear power and the people in charge that would impose their agenda on us all. Pay no attention to the button pushers behind the curtain.

I hear Cantor doesn't want to give aid to the devastated states until that sum is offset in deficit spending - another opportunity for more cuts in social services to our citizens to provide humanitarian disaster relief to our citizens in a time of crisis. The Tea party and The Heritage Foundation want to do away with FEMA altogether, a corrupted Agency that did their bidding for big oil. Now that they're needed to actually help our people it's time to get rid of them. We really are arguing about the politics of domestic disaster relief in the midst of a disaster. Unbelievable how inhumane the system has become.
I sure hope there's some follow up on how the private sector responds - the insurance companies. If we could just declare natural disasters terrorists we may get some action.

Kind of pisses me off that their National Guard unit can't help with helicopters.
Why?
BECAUSE THEY'RE IN FUCKING IRAQ!!!

We can't be out. They still haven't revoked that budget busting tax break for the Hoarder Class. Nor have they ended funding those wars the GOP never put on the books.
