First, the inept response exposed the extreme ammount of cronieism that is present in DC. Then, when forced to look at ways to pay for the damage done, we see just where they stand.
The very richest Americans, the top 1% in income and wealth, are expecting a tax cut that is going to cost the US over 300 billion. The Republicans refuse to discuss repealing these cuts. The have proposed , according to the Navy Times, cutting military funding, but not in procurement, or R and D. They like the idea of cutting quality of life funds, health care.
At the same time, another Republican it trying to make it illegal to for the National Weather service to distribute weather information if a for profit company trying to make a profit doing it.
Can it be made more clear. The Republicans care only for the rich. Big companies get protection, Paris Hilton gets protection, The Saudi Royal Family get protection, but if you work for a living, or are poor, it is just screw you.
