Every now and again you put something forward that makes sense so I know you're not a completely brain dead 1diot like some of these people, but you have to know how stupid what you just said is. President is quite capable of dishing out emergency funding in an emergency. Happens all the time. *sigh* Yet again you’re showing that you have no idea what you’re talking about, making up claims with no evidence. Do you not know the difference between budgeting and spelling? The government -including the President- can only SPEND money that Congress has allocated in the BUDGET. The President doesn’t have secret sources of money. 8 hours ago, CdnFox said: Secondly In cases where he does need additional congress support to pass something for spending it's very easy to get the congress back in to vote on an emergency Bill and that also happens all the time.

Do you not know the difference between budgeting and spelling? spelling? Did you mean spending? LOL Dude even you've got to admit it's pretty stupid to pretend to be exasperated trying to explain the difference between budgeting and spelling while making a spelling mistake Quote Not when congress is full of Republicans who refuse to reconvene because they want to exploit the hurricane for political advantage. Johnson slams door on Congress returning for disaster aid Congressional leaders say new disaster spending legislation can wait until the lame duck. Wait until lame duck? This reporter talks as well as you do. What the conservatives said was they'll be back immediately after the election which is 30 days, that it takes time to calculate the total amount needed and they have billions to spend between now and then. Quote Hurricane Milton’s rampage is not swaying House Republican leaders who oppose returning to Washington to approve billions of dollars for disaster assistance. President Joe Biden on Thursday said lawmakers should return to Capitol Hill “immediately” from their preelection recess, echoing pleas from both Republican and Democratic lawmakers from the afflicted states.

That money is for the fiscal year that ends next Sept. 30. So what you're saying is they do have the money.230 billion extra just last month. why doesn't biden spend that? And the conservatives have committed to being back as soon as the election is over, which is 30 days. So biden can say what he's going to ask for right now and in 30 days they can vote on it, and in the mean time they just got 20 billion a month ago. So it sounds like they're actually is more than enough money to last until congress comes back, and by then they'll know how much more is needed Quote Furthermore Trump and republicans keep repeating very specific lies that are demonstrably false like Biden isn’t returning calls from governors in affected states or that FEMA is only offering $750 in compensation, or that the Disaster Relief budget approved by congress has been reallocated to illegal immigrants. Well I don't know about the Biden call thing, sounds like pretty unlikely to me that Biden wouldn't reach out. But he is quite correct that the fEMA budget was pilfered to assist illegal aliens. They declared that situation and emergency and used emergency funds. That is the thing that happened. Quote
