Really? Is it a North versus South fight when every year hurricanes blow through the South and destroy the region? I seem to remember people from across America pitching in to help. It's disgusting to listen to politicians from the South from both parties play this line, especially considering the financial fact that it's their own states who are the spongers. That's right, I'm looking at you, Alabama and Mississippi.
They're a bunch of freeloading tax spongers who are only too happy to accept federal dollars - more than say, Ohio, Michigan, Indiana, Illinois - but oh no, no taxes can be spent to help out those Northern states during their time of need. In the best of times I detest the Southern attitudes of moral superiority despite regular evidence to the contrary but this fight turns my stomach. If anyone in Congress had a spine they'd tell Alabama and Mississippi to go Cheney themselves and find their own money the next time they have an emergency.
Sen. Jeff Sessions, R- Ala., told reporters Wednesday, “I can not imagine a real justification for a worker in Alabama who does not have any health insurance at his company to be taxed to maintain a Cadillac health care plan for somebody in Detroit.”Let's mark this down and remind the Senator how much federal aid he receives next hurricane season. I wonder what the Bible has to say about greedy, selfish bastards. Anyone?
Honda and Hyundai, Sessions said, “are building steadily, and they are progressing steadily” even though they are being hurt by the economic downturn just like the Big Three U.S. automakers of Ford, Chrysler and General Motors.
