As the city of Houston continues to drown, it's worth remembering that many, many Republicans insisted on budget offsets for Superstorm Sandy relief back in 2013.
That's because Superstorm Sandy hit a bunch of godless blue northeastern states, and you know how the GOP feels about them. But — too bad, right? If you're going to be a fiscally responsible Republican, you're going to demand offsets for every emergency, right?
Some northeastern members of Congress aren't waiting for that answer: They're reminding the world that scads of Republicans voted against Sandy aid or carped about offsets. While we're happy that they're refreshing all our memories, we cats are still waiting for a Republican to offer to forego a military base, highway or airport funding, or a border security operation in Texas later in exchange for Harvey assistance now.
Hello? Hello? Why aren't we hearing any Republicans saying that? Hello? We cats HISS.
