John Boehner and Eric Cantor Won’t Commit To Hurricane Relief Without Budget Cuts | ThinkProgress
House Majority Leader Eric Cantor (R-VA) is insisting that “any potential emergency disaster aid be offset by spending cuts.”
...but I'm willing to bet a modest amount that Cantor's state, Virginia, is as close as one comes to being a federal state. With dozens of military installations and federal properties (the CIA's headquarters at Langley is only one example), not to mention being home to a great many folks who work in D.C., I'm thinking we could save a whole lot of money by just cutting Virginia off. And then maybe Eric Cantor will just STFU.
(BTW, it looks like Virginia is dead center in Hurricane Irene's path so good luck to our Virginia friends.)
