We all know what the real enemy of Ted Cruz and the Texas Republicans, it’s good government executing good policies well.
Additionally, we know that Cruz, and Cornyn, and 20 some odd members of the Texas Congressional delegation voted against Sandy aid, because there were too many Blacks, Jews, and Hispanics they hate New York, and everything in its proximity.
So, we know that Chris Christie used Sandy aid to corruptly direct money to his cronies and punish perceived political opponents, and it’s reasonable to prevent this from happening in Texas post Harvey.
I have some proposals, you can add some more in the comments:
- Structure the aid to prevent the Texas political establishment from awarding contracts to their political supporters by administering it directly at the federal level.
- Require that any organization that receives federal aid certify that it will not distinguish between same sex and opposite sex marriage.
- Require that any organization that receives federal aid certify that they will not engage in any discrimination in employment of the LGBT community with these funds.
- Eliminate tax breaks to the fossil fuel industry if some Republicans demand “offsets” for the money.
- Etc.
You see, you can bust the balls of the Texas Republican Party and actually deliver BETTER aid to the victims of this anthropogenic climate change induced disaster.
It’s a win-win.
