We have never followed it in any previous disaster. and the reason. of course. is that we have no idea what this disaster will cost us. and we certainly cannot ask the innocent victims trying to survive to wait until we have a congressional debate about raising taxes or spending outs before we send disaster aid. Finally. payasyougo is an insult to the people in the Midwest. They know full well that this standard has never been used for any previous disaster. and they know that 105 Republican Congressmen who voted against the flood disaster bill last week voted 2 years ago for aid to the Kurdish refugees. not asking at any point whether or not it was a payasyougo plan and certainly not asking whether any of the Kurdish refugees were over the age of 18.
