Meadows is an asswipe. He’s a devout Christian that gives real devout Christians a bad name since he has no heart. We humans each have a “nature.” Good natured and kind hearted people are easily identified. Those with a stingy or miserly nature or a constricted heart are also easily identified. Politicians govern according to their nature. By their nature, today’s Republicans and conservatives govern with the attitude that Americans should fend for themselves, that government should not lend a helping hand and that the social contract should be privatized, and they do so because by their nature they are cheap, stingy and selfish people. They are people who think that they made it on their own (even if by inheritance) and so others should do the same. They ask the question: why should I help them just because they are poor, sick or fell upon bad times as a result of the great recession? “Let them make their own way.” Too often, what underlies their so-called policies is disdain for the “others” race, color, alienage, immigration status, religion or sexual orientation. The so-called “Freedom Caucus,” is improperly named. They should be called the “Scrooge Caucus.”
Attaching non-emergency “pork” to flood relief funding is completely in line with similar acts such as holding Trump campaign rallies at the flood sites and during the emergency. The Freedom Caucus should recognize the Party that brought them to the dance. The Republican Party has always been, but has become an opportunist of the worst kind under the Trump Administration. Both Parties have often served “pork” with “blood” and it is one of the most amoral and counter-economic features of our governing process. If any idea is worth considering and funding, it should be done on its on merit alone and not contaminated with unrelated less appealing items.
