Republican's In Congress Are Just Bad People

From Today's Washington Post:
House and Senate lawmakers said they will proceed with a package of $70 billion in tax cuts and $35 billion in entitlement spending cuts, including as much as $10 billion out of a Medicaid program they simultaneously were suggesting expanding.

Before Katrina struck, the House and Senate were at loggerheads over an energy and water spending plan for the fiscal year that begins in October, with the Senate hoping to spend $700 million more than the House on water projects, including $27 million more on flood control in southeastern Louisiana and $20 million more on Louisiana coastal protection. House Appropriations Committee spokesman John Scofield said the committee has received no instructions to budge: "We are committed to living within our budget."

$70 Billion in tax cut and $35 in entitlement cuts?!?!? So the republicans just want to continue to give to the rich and screw the poor. How many more people are going to need government assistance after this disaster? Then they still don't want to spend chump change on water projects. Jesus, $20 million to Louisiana. That's nothing. I will return to my argument. If you don't think the government can do anything right, than you have no problem creating a kleptocracy and reducing government competence.
