Luckily there won’t be a bill. There is easily enough money already in the emergency fund.
Sorry Spendocrats, you’ll have to push your pork somewhere else.

Disaster relief is pork from your POV? I normally wouldn’t wish misfortune upon anyone. But I can’t help but feel that you are very deserving of learning just how wrong you are.

Infrastructure problems have a way to force spending on them. Collapse.

You can see when infrastructure collapses. As Society collapses, the withdrawal of support for each other is called Small Government and it is only conspicuous in its absence when it’s their own hometown.

And they (far “right”) won’t fund rebuilding the I-5 bridge in Washington state that collapsed yesterday. After all, there is another bridge next to it. Of course that is just a city bridge carrying local traffic. The interstate traffic will just have to detour to the city streets and fight local traffic.

A lot of the people who claim to be in favor of “small government” believe that government should only benefit them and theirs, because only THEY are “real Americans”. Anything else is pure waste.

Natural disasters do not justify government theft of the people’s money.

Why should it be any other way? As Joseph de Maistre wrote : “Toute nation a le gouvernement qu’elle merite.” (“Every nation has the government it deserves.”)
We become evil since Reagan, we deserve this collapse.

It’s not theft. Taxation is in the constitution, and it’s used to do things like build bridges and rebuild destroyed towns. You should read the constitution sometime, though expect to be enraged — it’s diametrically opposed to your “abandon America first” conservative philosophy.

Nature has a way of turning those who support the “makers” into those who support the “takers”.

No, we’re the ones who know history. We’re not like the Tea Party idiots who misunderstand my man John Adams and his compatriots, or the religious right that falsely claims this is a “Judeo-Christian” country and that all the Founders were devout Christians.
