(292,833 posts)Asked what Congress is doing to help disaster victims during Fox News Sunday, House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) said, In a moment like this, we feel just as helpless as everyone else does ... all we know to do at this moment is pray.
So helpless that Ted Cruz went off to Europe on vacation, kind of like he escaped to Cancun the last disaster.
These people aren't helpless. They just don't care.

(12,120 posts)Weve devolved from a communal society to a selfish stingy society that prefers low taxes to community safety. Especially true in Texas but also nationwide. Weve turned government-run efforts like NASA that took us to the moon over to one man who probably wont get us to Mars and who only wants to break things.
Weve run so far away from the word communist that we dont want to do anything as a community anymore.
