Discuss the Republican party's reaction to a particular funding issue and provide your opinion on the matter.
The Republican s@um are hypocrites. Ones person pork is someone else's safety net for those who were not homeowners but were still affected by Sandy's wrath such as the homeless and businesses that didn't qualify for direct federal funding or rebuilding help.  There were other needs that the affected needed help with, including repairing the areas and land that got hit.  So for Cruz and company, calling it waste was not true but they didn't care. So now who wants money.
