“House Speaker Says Congress Can Wait for Helene Damage Needs”

“Johnson didn’t explicitly address Biden’s request last week for lawmakers to speed up authorization of about $1.6 billion for the Small Business Administration to help rebuild from the hurricane. Florida faces another potential hit as Tropical Storm Milton reached hurricane strength on Sunday.”

“It takes a while to calculate the actual damages and the states are going to need some time to do that,” Johnson said on Fox News Sunday. “You send specific needs and requests based on the actual damages and that takes some time, especially with storms of this magnitude. So Congress will do its job.”

“Lawmakers are due to return to session on Nov. 12, a week after Election Day.”

House Speaker Says Congress Can Wait for Helene Damage Needs

House Speaker Mike Johnson said Hurricane Helene’s devastation doesn’t require immediate action by Congress to boost federal disaster relief funding because it’ll take time to assess the damage.

In other words, we want the hurricanes to do as much damage as they can so that we can blame it on the Democrats for the elections

Sure it does, and is reacting accordingly, what Biden is asking for is additional funding specifically set aside to deal with the unusual phenomenon of two historical hurricanes hitting back to back, why wouldn’t Johnson want to help?

Biden knows that back-to-back hurricanes will delete the FEMA funds. His asking for House approval for more funds seems prudent and thoughtful. But Rightys see some dirty plot in every act a Dem makes. Biden is continuing his governmental duties. he is being president of all the people. Florida is a Republican state., Biden said nothing about who they vote for. He is doing the job.

Biden’s request last week for lawmakers to speed up authorization of about $1.6 billion for what is the Small Business Administration NOT FEMA.
some people on here I guess think FEMA and the Small Business Administration are the same thing.
I guess they are a real bunch of morons.
Have a nice day
