Chris Christie lashes out at GOP House, Boehner
For those unable to watch the video above, here’s a partial transcript of the scathing remarks made this afternoon by New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, in which he lambasted fellow Republicans in the U.S. House for their refusal to act on an emergency-relief bill for his state and others devastated by Hurricane Sandy back in October:
—————
“Thirty-one days for Andrew victims. Seventeen days for victims of Gustav and Ike. Ten days for victim of Katrina. For the victims of Sandy in New Jersey, New York and Connecticut, it has been 66 days, and the wait continues. There is only one group to blame for the continued suffering of these innocent victims: the House majority and their speaker, John Boehner.
“… National disasters happen in red states and blue states and states with Democratic governors and Republican governors. We respond to national disasters not as Republicans or Democrats, but as Americans. Or at least we did, until last night. Last night, politics was placed before oaths to serve our citizens. For me, it was disappointing and disgusting to watch….”
“I’ve always put the people of New Jersey and my oath ahead of personal, petty politics. Last night, the House of Representatives failed that most basic test of public service, and they did so with callous indifference to the suffering of the people of my state.
“On the equities, this should be a no-brainer for the House Republicans as well. Both New York and New Jersey used the international firm of McKinsey and Co. to assess and quantify the damage to our states. Our professional staffs have spent countless hours with congressional staff providing leadership and back-up documentation for all the damage claims. Gov. Cuomo and I have spent hours and hours speaking to individual members of the House and Senate to answer their questions. We worked with President Obama and his administration and satisfied them of the urgent need of this $60 billion aid package.
“This was good enough for 62 United States senators of both parties to vote for this package. This was good enough for a majority of the House of Representatives. It overcame all the factual challenges. It just could not overcome the toxic internal politics of the House majority.
“Finally, New York and New Jersey are perennially among the most generous states in the nation to our fellow states. We vote for disaster relief for other states in need. We are donor states, sending much more to Washington, DC than we ever get back in federal spending. Despite this history of unbridled generosity, in our hour of desperate need we’ve been left waiting for help six times longer than the victims of Katrina, with no end in sight.
“Americans are tired of the palace intrigue and political partisanship of this Congress, which places one-upsmanship ahead of the lives of the citizens who sent these people to Washington, DC, in the first place. New Jerseyans and New Yorkers are tired of being treated like second-class citizens. New York deserves better than the selfishness we saw on display last night. New Jersey deserves better than the duplicity we saw on display last night. America deserves better than just another example of a government that has forgotten who they are there to serve, and why.
Sixty-six days and counting. Shame on you. Shame on Congress.”
Christie’s anger is perfectly justified, for all the reasons that he laid out and more. But as he suggested in his comments, this is merely the latest egregious example of the ideological preening and misplaced priorities exhibited by those in control of the U.S. House of Representatives.

Pretty simple: Because rebuilding billions of dollars worth of devastated roads, schools, sewage treatment plants, subways, post offices, storm-protection systems, etc., can’t be accomplished within 21 months. But the commitment to finance that work has to come now.

I know everyone will be able to sleep better now that that nasty ol’ “fiscal cliff” has been averted. What’s better is that we don’t have to worry about deficits or the national debt anymore, right? Well, you may be interested to learn that of the more than $1 trillion of debt that we run up each year, the fiscal cliff “deal” will reduce it by $73.5 billion! Wow! Think of it — less than 1/10th of the deficit! No wonder they’re celebrating! Oh! and that tax increase on those “evil” rich making more than $400,000/yr? That will only affect around 1 million people. Yessir, I know I’ll sleep better tonight!

Christie Lashes Out At House Of Pancakes
“The pancakes were half size. The syrup too runny. They ran out of pork. I had to wait 11 minutes for my order to arrive. The pancakes were way to small. They were out of chocolate chip pancakes. They tried to serve me orange juice, I ordered chocolate milk. The french toast was soggy. The pancakes were no bigger than a half dollar coin. For me, it was disappointing and disgusting to watch….

Add in some quotes from NE RINOs and it’s a dumpster fire.

News just reported that 9 Billion in immediate relief will be passed on Friday and sent to the Senate which has already scheduled time to take action on the 9 Billion. They will take up additional spending in a second process. Sounds like the speaker might have just saved the taxpayers $51 billion, but when you find the time to find credits for Nascar, Hollywood, and other pork in your Fiscal Cliff bill, who really cares.

Not in any particular order:
The U.S. economy continues to trade good paying jobs for low paying jobs. 60 percent of the jobs lost during the last recession were mid-wage jobs, but 58 percent of the jobs created since then have been low wage jobs.
Our trade deficit with China in 2011 was $295.5 billion. That was the largest trade deficit that one country has had with another country in the history of the planet.
The United States has lost an average of approximately 50,000 manufacturing jobs a month since China joined the World Trade Organization in 2001.
The value of the U.S. dollar has declined by more than 96 percent since the Federal Reserve was first created.
Back in the 1970s, about one out of every 50 Americans was on food stamps. Today, about one out of every 6.5 Americans is on food stamps.
[A]pproximately one out of every four American workers makes 10 dollars an hour or less.

I take it you’ve never been through a wide scale disaster. We are not talking just private homes and businesses here, but the public infrastructure and institutions as well. Even when you have insurance, you are going to have a lot of out of pocket expenses involved in getting the place back to habitable. This requires emergency loan funding. This is not a hand out. That money has to be paid back. But it first has to be available for loans…

Labour Unrest and a Slowing Economy in China: Unpaid Wages Spark Strikes
In a clear sign of a slowing economy, many employers in China, including foreign-owned factories and state-owned enterprises, have been unable or unwilling to pay their employees for months. Strikes and protests by workers have erupted to demand unpaid wages.
On December 10-11, more than 1,000 subcontracting workers at Eastern Heavy Industries in Jiangsu province’s Jingjiang city struck over the company’s failure to pay them for 5 to 6 months. Workers rallied at the Shanghai-Beijing expressway, causing massive traffic jams and forcing municipal officials to negotiate.
The Chinese Communist Party (CCP) regime is once again resorting to police-state measures against workers. In the aftermath of the subcontracting workers’ strike, contingents of police vehicles have been at the shipyard each day in an attempt to intimidate the workforce and prevent further stoppages.
A 12-day strike by 600 workers at a shoe factory in Foshan in Guangdong province ended on December 22, after they were forced to accept half the payout they had been demanding. The stoppage at the Shyang Ho Footwear began on 10 December after its private owner prepared to sell the factory and move to the inland city of Chengdu, where labour is cheaper. The workers demanded the compensation required by law, namely one month’s salary for every year of employment.
On Monday, 4,000 workers at the Hong Kong-owned Wong’s Electronics Co in Shenzhen downed tools over the lack of compensation for the “restructuring” of the company, which changed its name and legal representative. Large numbers of police were deployed at the factory. On Wednesday, workers marched to the local Shajing township government with banners demanding justice, but the authorities responded with more armed police.
Could it be that the whole f*cking neo-liberal/globalization model is wrong? Where will global capital find the final lowest paid workers? Where will they find the last people with jobs that allow them to consume?

Obama should veto any debt ceiling bill that doesn’t come with tax increases. And he should threaten to do so. And actually do it. Don’t worry, Congress will override that, but it’ll show that Obama is willing to shoot the hostage and force Republicans to take the position that increasing the debt ceiling is good.
He won’t do that of course. But don’t worry, better things are on the horizon:

I think we can organize resources and action teams better for the next hurricane.
We should be getting better on response not worse.

There is more genuine passion in the average professional wrestling match that the current political squabble. C^2 is the Big Show and the guy from Ohio is The Undertaker. This is distracting from the news that Our Beloved Messiah has dealt with the Gun Control problem more effectively that anyone in the history of politics.

Thanks to Our Beloved Messiah it’s is impossible to buy a gun in America. You have to go to Mexico.
Thanks Great One. How did we manage without you?

“Did they happen to report what happened to the person or persons who conducted the transaction?”
Its the “evil bidnessman’s fault card”. I think the report said the tanf cards were mostly used at the ATMs inside of the stores although from the report I think some of them were used in the actual purchase of liquor. I don’t think a bidness owner can stand over someone’s shoulder at an ATM to monitor what card they are using. Do you know of anyone who watches you at an ATM to monitor your use of various atm cards?

Mr right
About the same amount as we would have paid for Vice President Palin to go home to Wasilla.

With Katrina Republican’s sent toxic trailers for American’s to live in… when the American’s got sick, the Republican’s sided with the trailer makers……
That is real family Values, by the Republican’s ! We continue to see more with this issue…….
Republican’s don’t care about American’s really… just a few of the rich who might take advantage of the situation.

Jay, YOU could ban me with a clear conscience. But what I said about Schultz was the truth, the whole truth and nothing BUT the truth. I have the emails to prove it. Did YOU see anything there that was a banning offense?
I know you like to have a hard on towards me and you like but don’t like that you can’t bully me but really. That’s the BEST you can do?
I’ve told you before, you don’t have to ban me or stalk me. Just grow a set and ask me not to post on your blog any more. I’ll be gone so fast you’ll have to hold on to your hair piece to keep it from the breeze.
But really, you are sounding like td or Doomy with that other crap. As to the food blog? Kessler got mad because HE like Schultz is a little prima donna. He gave the Woodfire Grill a mediocre review because Kevin Gillespie didn’t kiss his ass enough and I told him so. He didn’t like that.
You folks here on these blogs are little martinets, you can do what you want. You know that. Rules vary from blog to blog. You, at least, are one of the few sane ones. Your buddy Maureen is as well. Just be honest Jay. you don’t want me here, say the word, but I will NEVER compromise my honor, integrity or values.
You hate that don’t you? I never have and I never will. This is my life it’s what I’ve chosen to do. There’s no free rides no one said it’d be easy. The old man told me this my son I’m telling it to you.
I will ALWAYS talk to you and defend myself against your bullying like I will against anyone else. You take the easy way to victory that’s your choice, but I will not bow down. Not even against stupid unsubstantiated crap like in your 7:24. Nice twisting of words Mr. Wordsmith. Be proud, be really proud.

Sooth,
You found a ref yet? Like I told you I refuse to take on keep all by himself. It would end way too quickly and even keep doesn’t deserve that kind of humiliation. If you match keep and kam against me then keep’s odds of winning increase dramatically from 6 trillion to 1 to only 500 billion to 1 if he has kam as his partner. Plus they get to wear headgear. Doomy don’t need no stinking head gear against them 2.

“That takes a certain panache.”
Which is why we like him so much here on the verandah…
….but hold himself “blameless?” Now that’s just not true…he doesn’t deny it at all…unlike some people I could name but won’t…
