text: The House will consider another disaster relief package for Sandy victims in upcoming days. I hope Congress will devise a plan to directly help Sandy victims that will be offset with spending reductions and be free of wasteful pork-barrel spending.   Congress has a responsibility to help disaster victims, but we also have a responsibility to taxpayers. Instead of rushing to pass an aid package further bankrupting an already insolvent program like the National Flood Insurance Program, I urge Congress to devise a reasonable and cost-effective disaster assistance program.
