What’s worse about those road repairs is the fact the Congress has not increased any funding for the Smokies and Blue Ridge Parkway in over 20 years. It wasn’t until last year have they had any additional money from the sale of parking passes.
Also, remember that fixing mountain roads is already 1.5x more expensive than roads in flat areas (Nashville and Memphis).
While on the subject of playing politics with hurricanes, it’s beginning to feel like Speaker Johnson’s refusal to bring the House back is just that. He doesn’t want to give Biden-Harris a perceived political “win” this close to the election. But if Florida takes a direct hit this week, there will likely be increased demand for Congress to get back to work and approve more money for FEMA.
Meanwhile, DeSantis is dodging calls and visits with Biden and Harris all while feigning ignorance. Let’s see how long his political games last if his state is underwater on Thursday.
DeSantis refusal to talk with VP Harris just shows that he doesn't have the "Cojones" to face a powerful woman, much less face what's coming after the hurricane.
Here's what DeSantis told Hannity last night: "She has no role in this. She has never contributed anything to these efforts and so what I think is selfish is trying to blunder into this." Let's see if he's still saying that if Florida takes a direct hit this week.
That all depends on whether Fox is telling its viewers that Biden is asking for more money from Congress, and that Republicans shot down more relief money in the CR.
My best of wishes go out to those recovering from Helene and soon to be from Milton.
Perhaps the storms will make at least some of the climate change deniers pull their heads out of the sand and pay attention to the realities that are happening. What say you, DeSantis? Is this not n your face enough to get your attention?
Something hasn’t been making sense about these storms. All these republicans are saying (lying) that this is the worst reponse ever, that $750 is an insult, that they want help from Biden and they want it now… but I want to know something.
What happened to these guys who can’t describe Harris as anything but a Socialist, a Communist, a Marxist? What about the cultists that scream about big government? What about FREEDOM?!?
The LAST thing those hypocrites should be wanting is help from a woke federal government that they absolutely hate.
I say for every piece of garbage Republican that voted for a piece of garbage senator or representative that voted against funding FEMA?
Screw them. They have been fighting for zero government interference, this is what they’ve been demanding, let’s not waste precious resources trying to help people who don’t want it.
Just paint a big red GOP on what’s left of their houses and bypass them. And they better not cash that commie $750 check.
They can have all the thoughts and prayers they can shove in their pockets, and that ought to be plenty.
