Senator Sasse critiques added elements to Hurricane Harvey relief bill
Nebraska Senator Ben Sasse says the specific duty of Congress as the nation faces natural disasters is to provide emergency funding relief for FEMA and other agencies, which the House had done in the Senate should do. Sasse argues that the Senate should not for themselves and pretending to legislation at hand does what it says because of its title, a much larger, much clunkier, much less inexplicable or defensible bill because constituents do not know less than half of its contents fund hurricane relief. Sasse calls the Schumer-Pelosi-Trump bill, one that uses a hurricane as an excuse to take over a credit card company and change the credit limit without any discussion, borrowing from children for a price tag and that that. Avoid honest accounting, insisting the two should be separated rather than kicking the can down the road on the nature of obligations constantly incurred beyond the ability to pay.
