Bully for Profit aka Lawmaking American Style...

 

The Hurricane Funding Bill for the Gulf Coast is at risk of being tampered with, twisted, chopped up and minced. There is absolutely no reason, on this earth and in the House, that this funding should be combined with any other legislative business.
This appears to be an under handed attempt to bully for profit. But maybe more than anything, the Hurricane Funding Bill was never meant to make it out of the House as a "SOLE" relief effort for many, many Gulf Coast citizens of the United States of America.
