Donald Trump’s Response to Disaster Aid for California: Nothing
Kevin DrumNov. 20, 2017
http://www.motherjones.com/kevin-drum/2017/11/donald-trumps-response-to-disaster-aid-for-california-nothing/“A few weeks ago, California requested $7.4 billion in disaster aid following the massive series of wildfires in the northern part of the state that killed 43 people and destroyed nearly 9,000 structures. Actually, let’s back up. That’s not quite accurate. California’s Democratic governor, its two Democratic senators, and its 39 Democratic members of Congress asked for $7.4 billion. With only one exception, California’s Republican delegation boycotted a request for disaster funding for their own state.”

Republicans are anti-American
What could be more American than rejecting big government money? Pull yourself up by your own bootstraps–that isn’t something you can even imagine a European saying. The only welfare most people is this idiot country approve of is that which goes to the Pentagon, or into their own pockets (Social Security, Medicare). Frankly, this is a case of very rich just deserts.
