Congress is looking to provide emergency disaster funding to California, where wildfires have left at least 60 people dead, but lawmakers say it will take some time.
Returning to Capitol Hill after weeks on the campaign trail, almost all key House and Senate lawmakers this week said California deserved to see a supplemental disaster appropriations bill but couldn’t offer many details on the dollar amount or what shape the legislation would take.
What the demo-RATS do not want you to know and will not tell the Californians is that billions in aid for the victims of the wild fires and hurricanes was in the bill funding the wall. Every demon-RAT VOTED ‘NO’ on this recovery aid because they hate president Trump.
Those Calif. wildfires are in red areas of the state. The folks in Sacramento don’t care. I’m waiting for the next major earthquake to hit. The state is broke so guess who’s expected to pay in it’s aftermath? Do this beforehand: ALL disaster relief will go strictly to medical relief. Since they don’t take care of business they’ll learn quickly. And if it’s a tsunami up and down the coast?
Tie disaster aid to wall.
California should get zero federal money for disaster aid.
Eco-idiocy at the Darwin award level must never be rewarded.
I said the same thing when I lived out there.
This state is LOST for PUBBIES anyway give Pelosi the middle finger for her federal emergency funding SCREW HER!!! Let’s see how fast she funds the wall!!!
They did tie disaster aid to the wall, Schumer kept his shutdown anyway.
California is all by itself the fifth most prosperous economy in the world with dozens of billionaires They can afford to clean up after their own fires. Especially since the fires are caused by dangerous utility corporations overseen ( sic!) by some of the most corrupted state “regulators” ( enablers, money -whores) in the world.
California loves socialism but always has it’s hand out for money
to slow on the up tick to understand what is wrong with system.
The stoner state can’t keep it’s head above water with all the weed and gas taxes.
They did it to make it more attractive for Democrats in CA to vote for it. I don’t see Harris and Feinstein running forward to vote for it in the Senate.
Screw Carolinafornia and their DemoKKKratzi Overlords.
Aid to California should be conditional...end sanctuary policies, adopt constitutional carry and recognize other state’s CCW.
They are also bankrupt.
Anyone notice that the disasters affecting California are getting progressively worse and that usually the only state affected is California?
God keeps talking but few are listening. His patience will wear out eventually.
Justin Amash (r-mi) voted no on the bill and posted it was the most pork filled bill he had seen. I want to know what else is in it.
California becomes majority Republican in event of a major tsunami?
