3. And are

still screwing over. With the Ryan budget, Republicans are trying to decimate anyone who isn't a millionaire. Gut FEMA and tell people they're on their own.

Still, how does that work? Seems when a catastrophe happens they're the first ones to demand federal aid (see Rick Perry).

On edit, Reuters

<...>

She said Texas has already received 22 grants to help pay fire management expenses this fire season, including 16 in April alone.

In the past, Perry has charged that the Obama administration is punishing Texas. The Republican governor has been an outspoken opponent of the federal health reform law, and the state is suing the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency over a proposal to end Texas' independent air quality permitting program for factories and refineries.

Obama took a shot at Perry in an interview last week with the Dallas/Fort Worth TV station WFAA.

"Governor Perry helped balance his budget with about $6 billion worth of federal help - which he happily took - and then started blaming the members of Congress who had offered that help," Obama said, referring to 2009 federal stimulus funds.


So these GOP idiots turn down federal funds for everything from education to high speed rail, take federal money to balance their budgets and for disaster relief, and then complain that the federal government isn't doing enough for them?
