WASHINGTON - The U.S. House of Representatives on Tuesday failed again to pass a $19.1 billion disaster aid bill supported by President Donald Trump after a Republican lawmaker objected to the measure.
But with most lawmakers out of town for a recess until June 4, individual House Republicans have been able to block passage twice - once last Friday and again on Tuesday - by demanding an official roll call vote. Such action would have to wait until the full House returns to work next week. The $19.1 billion in the bill is intended to help farmers cover their crop losses and rebuild infrastructure hit by disasters, including repairs to U.S. military bases.
“Everybody wants to be a hero by coming in and writing checks . Those checks aren’t backed up by anything. We’re borrowing the money for all of this,” Massie said.
I hope those poor disaster survivors don’t vote republican. You CAN change what your gov’t does with YOUR $. So VOTE!
Good, more people need to realize how bad the government is and how little they care! still a believer, just wait till you have to rely on SSD & Medicare!
God help those who themselves! After all we have always helped each other through thick or thin; aren't we the land of the free and self governing. I consider it a blessing in disguise. I rather rely on the benevolence of my brother and friends than a bureaucrat, any day.
F’ck the GOP!
We need new rules to ensure that gov’t officials obey laws & do their jobs. We used to rely on patriotism & honor. Since self-regulation is failing, we need revised rules of conduct & clear punishments. Trump Regime is ruling the People, not serving US. Time to take gov’t back.
RepThomasMassie Keep up the fight. $19B needs to be funded and not borrowed.
SHOCKING:zero empathy at all.
Makes you wonder how much pork is in this bill
It appears to me the United States does not want to assist the people of the United States. 🤔🤔🤔
Blocked by the GOP. You should really add that.

'Objection expected from GOPers Massie/Mooney.'

GOP conservative temporarily blocks $19B disaster billA House GOP conservative complaining of Washington&39;s free-spending and opaque ways blocked a long-overdue $19 billion disaster aid bill on Friday, extending a tempest over hurricane and flood relief that has left the measure meandering for months. Texas Republican Chip Roy, a former aide to Texas Wait he is asking for fiscal responsibility and restraint AND funds for the archaic wall? Does irony exist in conservative minds? chiproytx is concerned about where the money is coming from for this disaster relief but he says nothing about Trump’s unilateral decision to spend $28 billion to bail out farmers hurt by his trade war? Chip doesn’t seem very genuine.
