Now That God Hath Smitten Texas, Will The GOP Beg For Federal Funding?

In 2012, The American Society of Civil Engineers gave Houston a deplorable C- average grade for its infrastructure. While C averages may be good enough to send a Texan to the White House, the city’s population, fourth largest in the nation, deserves better.

A spokesman for the ASCE said of the city’s outdated infrastructure:

“A low grade does not mean it is unsafe, but rather, that it is woefully outdated and has no plan in place.”

It would appear with the events of the past week that “woefully outdated” with “no plan in place” has officially passed the benchmark to be considered unsafe.

Texas Republicans, it seems, have a fairly short memory. On Memorial Day in 1981, the Shoal Creek in Austin surged from its typical flow of 90 gallons per minute to six million gallons per minute, devastating the city and leaving 13 dead. Still little to nothing has been done to secure the Texas floodplains, leaving Texans vulnerable to disaster.

of course they don't remember they can't recall 99% of what they say has been either done or rebuked.  it's just they refuse to except the science of climate change so anything remotely connected is non existent for them they will never admit it even when Texas is floating down the Gulf and the other states are waving good riddance i mean bye because doing so will trigger those pesky regulations interfering with big businesses right to freedom of pollution and poisoning the air, water and earth.

all republicans are not rich so why aren't those who aren't stepping up and at least trying to protect and secure the future for their families is it party then family???

i've been waiting to ask this question directed at the evangelical preachers, since they said Katrina and other calamity's associated with other states were God's punishment for embracing Homosexuality and the Gay community, my question Sirs is God now punishing you guys for the blasphemy and racist bigoted hatred you preach to the children and the gullibles with FIRES, DROUGHTS AND FLOODS is this your punishment brought down on the innocents because of your anti Christian agenda?????????????????????

President Obama plans to invade Texas…With temporary housing, bottled water, clean blankets and cash.

The President, possibly the most hated person in Texas, has spoken with Governor Gregg Abbott, pledging whatever support Texas needs to overcome the floods. Typical responses from the Obama administration’s fast-acting FEMA include deployment of the full-force of the agency’s relief and recovery team and whatever financial assistance the state will need to get back on its feet.

Some would call that a helping hand up, while other may point out the lack of preparation in Texas as lazy and irresponsible. It doesn’t matter; 0ur President has proven time and time again that he will be there to help those in need.

and he didn't hold it up until they could determine how they were going to pay for it he's Progressive, republican want assurances of payback before they help their own states.  not to mention one of those agencies that look out for those in disaters they want to kill it too. it's all about the Benjamin's.
