Sarah Huckabee feeding from the federal teat...
Funny how it's socialist aid until it's their state that needs it...

It's a shame Biden can't tie strings to those allocations. Perhaps require passage of some environmentally progressive laws that could be of benefit going forward.
Nothing too fierce. Maybe a modest state carbon tax.

If the Rs are so bent on cutting spending, cutting this kind of assistance to a Red state should be perfectly acceptable.
How about making the aid a loan at high interest?

Trump would have at least tried... likely more of a backdoor deal, however
I would not backdoor Sarah Huckabee Sanders under any circumstances.

They estimate they need an extra $25 million in federal aid to finish the cleanup which means all of us are paying for it.
I’m just gonna park the below link here…
Sanders signs $124 Million tax cut into law

Watch the hypocrisy get ramped up in a few weeks when flooding really starts to impact the Central Valley area of California. All of that land that was natural floodplain farmers and ranchers put under the till, which will soon be under water. Kevin McCarthy is trying to Thelma and Louise the US economy off a cliff with MTG, but he's going to come crying for federal aid for his district.

Yep. Start with budget cutting aid to the red states…they’re the biggest takers anyways
Arkansas needs to "have some skin in the game"
No. Come on. Disaster relief shouldn’t have strings. This sounds like something Trump would propose.

How do you feel about the fact that Arkansas state taxes are a fraction of many other states. Why should their citizens get a hall pass?
I think they should get the relief, I just think they deserve to be attacked as the lazy welfare queens they are
I don’t think what I’m going to say is hyperbole at all. President Ron Desantis would absolutely make things like this contingent about what you say about his administration. If you enact a policy he didnt Like you wouldn’t get things like this.
Some more anti trans bills should solve these woes.
Disaster relief should be provided by the feds without strings - it’s one of the reasons why we have a federal government.
And it would be nice if the red state politicians could stop their socialism speeches for at least a couple weeks while their nose is in the federal trough.
But they don’t give a shit about hypocrisy or decency anymore.

Oh, I definitely think they should be called out for hypocrisy when they talk about shrinking government and bitch about “big government”
My point is just that a state is made up of citizens of all persuasion and withholding disaster relief or setting strings just affects people, not a “state”
I would usually be the one saying that. But we're to the point that helping red climate-denier states is like giving a 3rd liver transplant to an unrepentant alcoholic.
Time for some tough love.
