Why do Republicans feel that authorizing FEMA money has to be tied to ANY spending cuts?

It is unfortunate that at a time when our country need a “functioning” government the most, we have what we have now, two opposing forces that refuse to work together to keep this country strong. I hate to think what other countries may be thinking about America. We are showing just how divided we are and what is more important, keeping the other side from winning, no matter the detriment it may cause the country. This bill is set up to fail, yet it is being sold to the american people as if it is something necessary, yet still poses the possibility of a government shutdown. We really need to take a good look at who these people are in the GOP House and what their true agenda may be, because it is not about the good of this country.

GEORGIE_BUSHIE, instead of being on here, just repeating the democratic view, go to C-span and listen what your fearless leader Harry Reid tells the Senate, he agreed to the extension to keep the country running, but now when it looks like that the majority in the senate would approve it, he is against bringing it to the floor. The party of NO (democrats) is alife and well. They don’t want spending cuts they just want to spend. From 2007 to 2010 when the democrats had the majority in the house and senate they spend 5.2 trillion dollars and now they just like to keep on spending.

“adding an amendment to strip $100 million from a federal loan program”

Can’t any of you read? This is not about Solyndra anymore, that is a done deal. This is about NOT funding anymore companies that may need funding and could be hiring now. This is nothing more than another GOP political game when they submit a bill that they know will not pass in the Senate and will continue the “cat and mouse” game of holding the government hostage with a possible government shutdown. Please, we are sick and tired of the GOP’s political games

“Oh, wait, I forgot, we haven’t had a budget since the Obama took office.”
====================================
LOL! ….. another Fox News dedicated viewer. “Take the Fox talking points, and run with them (without verifying anything)”.

In this day of electronic information it’s funny how people don’t check their facts before putting foot in mouth:

INSTRUCTIONS:
(1) Search Words: ………. “Budget of the United States Government: Browse”
(2) Fiscal Year 2010 Budget – White House Submitted to Congress on February 26, 2009
Fiscal Year 2011 Budget – White House Submitted to Congress on February 01, 2010
Fiscal Year 2012 Budget – White House Submitted to Congress on February 14, 2011

…. Now it’s in congresses’s hands.

Let’s blame Obama for everything, right? Let’s look at this CLASS WARFARE issue. How much did you get as a raise last year or the year before? Do yourself a favor. Take your salary and give yourself a 5% raise every year starting this year. If you make $50,000 annually, it will take you over 30 years to make it to $250,000 a year. Most people will never see $250K a year in their life time. These same people who will never see $250k are still pissed that Obama wants to help them by not raising taxes on them but by RESTORING tax rates to before the Bush tax cuts on those who make $250K a year. LET ME HELP YOU … YOU WILL NEVER SEE $250K a year. AS A COUPLE, YOU WILL NEVER MAKE OVER $500K a year. NEVER, NEVER, NEVER, EVER!!!! You have been brainwashed to believe that you are in the same boat with people who make hundreds of thousands of dollars annually. YOU ARE NOT!!! Changes are you NEVER will be. You are pissed just to be pissed… You don’t want to be helped.

Georgie_bushie: I agree with you. What the republicans really want to do is choke off government, as much government as possible by cutting revenues and thereby justifying cutting government programs.

HELLO!! This is only to fund through Sept. 30. On Oct. 1 they can start on the budget for the new year and increase funding if they deem it necessary.Oh, wait, I forgot, we haven’t had a budget since the Obama took office.
