This is what you get when capitalism runs rampant. Corporate welfare and dividends come above everything else, the environment, the working class, even morality.

We claim to be a christian nation but we're not. We worship the dollar and only the dollar.

The Tea Party is vile and disgusting.
I say let Texas flounder on it's own. NO federal aid.

After having put a lot of thought into it, I agree.
To begin with let Texas institute a state income tax to pay for reconstruction.

Speaking of a bagger POS.

— Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Tex.), interview with NBC’s Katy Tur, Aug. 28, 2017
Really? Two thirds was pork or unrelated?
Even when they desperately need the help, this asshole is lying.

Nonetheless, I wouldn't hand them the same hassle they sanctioned for the Sandy aid, but I'm fine with not letting that get lost In this situation.

This article was published a couple of day back and had forgotten about it. Houston had ample opportunities to reduce the impact yet they were for no regulations.They got what they deserved.

We already knew how to reduce damage from floods. We just didn’t do it.

The nation has not been particularly good at learning from past floods, which have occurred with discouraging frequency. This time, we need to actually fix some of the problems. If we don’t, Americans facing some new devastation in the future will be looking back at Harvey and wondering why we didn’t act now.

In spite of Texas Teabagger "I've got mine, fuck you !" politics, I'm on board with this combined relief effort.

Has Trump taken credit for this yet since this was his idea to begin with?

Oops, here it is. Trump is endorsing the org.

We will confront ANY challenge, no matter how strong the winds or high the water. I’m proud to stand with Presidents for #OneAmericaAppeal.
Did anyone invite him?
