Asked about federal disaster relief for recent tornado and flood victims at last night’s GOP debate, candidate Mitt Romney called the spending “immoral” and said the Federal Emergency Management Agency should be privatized. With greenhouse pollution on the rise, the United States has been struck by a “punishing series of billion-dollar disasters.” Embracing a radical anti-government ideology from the most extreme elements of the Tea Party, Romney said that the victims in Mississippi, Louisiana, Tennessee, Massachusetts, and other communities hit by tornadoes and flooding should not receive governmental assistance. He argued it is “simply immoral” for there to be deficit spending that could harm future generations: Every time you have an occasion to take something from the federal government and send it back to the states, that’s the right direction. And if you can go even further and send it back to the private sector, that’s even better. [...] We cannot — we cannot afford to do those things without jeopardizing the future for our kids. It is simply immoral, in my view, for us to continue to rack up larger and larger debts and pass them on to our kids, knowing full well that we’ll all be dead and gone before it’s paid off. It makes no sense at all.

Why do you liberals not quote things in their entirity? Here ROMNEY: Absolutely. Every time you have an occasion to take something from the federal government and send it back to the states, that's the right direction. And if you can go even further and send it back to the private sector, that's even better. Instead of thinking in the federal budget, what we should cut -- we should ask ourselves the opposite question. What should we keep? We should take all of what we're doing at the federal level and say, what are the things we're doing that we don't have to do? And those things we've got to stop doing, because we're borrowing $1.6 trillion more this year than we're taking in. We cannot... KING: Including disaster relief, though? ROMNEY: We cannot -- we cannot afford to do those things without jeopardizing the future for our kids. It is simply immoral, in my view, for us to continue to rack up larger and larger debts and pass them on to our kids, knowing full well that we'll all be dead and gone before it's paid off. It makes no sense at all.

It is not easy reconstructing 'molded minds'... Live for the day huh? You must not have any kids. So not only will our grandchildren owe debt. They wont even be to pay for their own storms locally. Because you already spent the money.
Romney-Ryan Reportedly Using Campaign Bus To Aid Hurricane Sandy Relief Help is on the way, and without stealing from the taxpayers. Lucky this happened during an election, or Mitt would be nowhere to be found.
Obama's watch stopped on 24 May 2008, but he's been too busy smoking crack to notice.
Live for the day huh? You must not have any kids. But we can afford foreign aid to the 'bastard state' yet our own citizens can 'go to hell'? Interesting set of priorities, indeed!
It is not easy reconstructing 'molded minds'... Interesting set of priorities, indeed! They need to cut everything. The Arabs receive more then Israel. Investing in Israel is a good. As it gives us a foothold into the middle east in case we have to destroy the Muslims.
All 2 billion of them. LOL. If the bastard state wasn't created by your friends, the United Nations, no foreign aid would be required in the entire region as it is the bastard state that set the stage for the muslim uprising and conflict.

The UN didn't create Israel. Which UN troops liberated it? Who was the Genearl?
Of course they did and you know it. No sense arguing you point but it is telling you are more concerned about the bastard state than you are the citizens of your own country. Telling indeed! Is it a 'bibical thing' with you?
It is not easy reconstructing 'molded minds'... Uh oh! This puppy is starting to get up and run! www.politicususa.com/reme...-wanted-privatize-it.html {{{chuckle}}}
It is not easy reconstructing 'molded minds'... From the guy who is voting for Obama based on your belief that he will be against Israel when the Arabs attack.
It is in prophecy. What is your opinion of Jesus?
I'm certain that He would not look on israel favorably and it is my believe their 'day of reckoning' is nigh.
It is not easy reconstructing 'molded minds'... Hmmm... I remember seeing videos of a then-Senator Barrack Hussein Proving- once again- that the two sock-puppet "candidates" are identical. THANKS for playing. Putz.
