Ah! But you fail to see the equalivency of states that are beset by natural disasters such as floods, hurricanes, tornadoes, and wildfires are just exactly like states with unfunded public pension liabilities that have greased the pockets of state workers for decades while under the unchecked and bankrupt policies of the liberal Democrat regimes.
State governments that run their finances into the ground by willful acts of malfeasance are just as entitled to financial bailouts as those areas that are hit by natural disasters.
PS I wonder if Governor Capone has calculated the cost of the aid that the Feds have pumped into NY and NYC during THEIR "natural" disaster. What's another few tens of Billions of dollars to get their cushy pensions solvent? (Of course, they'll squander the money and they'll be insolvent again before he leaves office.)
