Sandy' bill
Politicians are outraged that the House did not pass the Senate's $60 billion disaster aid bill for the victims of Hurricane Sandy.I wish they all would point their outrage in the correct direction, which would be the senators who added billions of those dollars to be used for pork.The already-taxpayer-supported Amtrak would receive $336 million, and millions upon billions more going for tree planting, roofs for D.C. buildings and myriad other things that have nothing to do with Sandy.My solution would be to publish the name of each senator and how much he or she added for their pet projects. All of the Sandy victims, along with the rest of us, could then see the real enemy of the people: the politician who is taking money from the hurricane victims.-- Ruth Orren, Fort WorthHave more to add?
