Take That, New Orleans

The congresswoman whose name sounds like a sneeze, sniffs at attempts to fund Hurricane Katrina reconstruction.

“Republicans have slashed* critical funding for child support enforcement, student loans, healthcare for children, nursing home care for seniors, and food stamps. This has been done in the name of funding hurricane recovery and deficit reduction, but it is neither. What drives this legislation are tax cuts.”

Congresswoman Achoo! isn't cutting, she's bringing home money for more 'vital' projects.

• Bio-Info-Nano Research
• Gender Specific Ranch
• County Forensics Lab (remember when citizens of North Dakota didn't pay for this)
• Dredging the Port of Redwood City
• A Breakwater
• Money to Study San Francisquito Creek (coming up on 7 years and still studying)
  
• A Wildlife Visitor's Center
• Money to Study Wetlands

Now we know the difference between critical and vital.

*The cut she refers to isn't really a cut, but merely slowing the increase.
