    That's false.

    Those areas have high cost of living and high salaries because their policies have devalued the dollar.

    Things like high minimum wage standards, rent control, unsustainable public sector pensions, excessive tax rates, etc. Make the dollar worth less.

    And then the left feels superior because the rural areas are affordable with stable fiscal policies?

    Weird.

    No not really. Voting against more but asking for your money back is okay

    Remember the Senate appropriations committee doesn't make a penny they take it from the people. They should be required to give it back.

    Let's also not forget very rich Democrats do not want low cost housing anywhere near them... Remember Martha's vineyard

    Those areas also get a break on cell phone and internet service. I suggest you look at the itemized bill. Then we can talk about electricity, then roads.

    Didn't you vote for the guy who one of his first actions in office was to put the brakes on Trump's plan to lower the cost of insulin?

    How disturbing you left out the salient fact that the bill they voted against was not JUST the relief bill.

    Why are Dems trying to hold the FL relief hostage to their pet spending bills instead of just passing relief?

    They did a policy freeze on everything, which is fairly common with new administrations after the people booted out the previous one with such a significant “landslide”.

    That insulin executive order was bad for several reasons, the largest was the administrative issues followed by it impacting a very small percent of the population. Affordable insulin should be for all Americans

    Imagine saying affordable life saving medications are a “pet spending bill” and also believing you are on the side of good. Disgusting

    Is that the official talking point that makes your double standards feel better?

    Imagine complaining about a governor getting gas to a disaster zone and lying about it. Completely disgusting.... And then pretending you hold some sort of moral high ground.... That's disgusting on top of disgusting

    How about imagining answering my question?

    Why are Dems trying to hold the FL relief hostage to their pet spending bills instead of just passing relief?

    Democrats voted for the proposal and Biden has already authorized emergency use

    Have you not been following the thread?

    Republicans are the ones that voted against disaster funding as well as making insulin affordable. Own it

    Biden authorized it pre-emptively before the hurricane made landfall. What are you talking about? Florida is getting everything we need.

    WHY did they vote against THAT bill? Are you trying to assert they voted against the bill in order to specifically and purposely deny relief to Florida? Then prove it. Cite one of them saying so.

    Why are the Dems holding the disaster relief hostage to the other spending they are demanding instead of QUICKLY passing a RELIEF bill?

    One ofThe first things Biden did in office ( besides immediately wage war on domestic energy production) was freeze Trump's plan to lower the cost of insulin. He couldn't let it be seen that it came from Trump so he put the stop to it.

    And you voted for him.

    We've already seen that you will lie for partisan purposes just like you did about our governor.

    Republicans voted against it because they do not care about medical issues of the Average American. Democrats tied them together because they wrongfully believed Republicans wouldn’t sink that low.

    Thankfully Biden is sending all the aid they could need so your gotcha just looks sad.

    This has already been explained to you with links as to both why it was frozen (all policy was as standard for a new administration after a president has been removed from office) and why trumps EO was ineffective and too costly for what it did while only serving a very small amount of people.

    I have no desire to constantly rehash these fraudulent talking points after facts have been presented. That he tried to do this failed policy at the end of his failed one term presidency and not first thing shows this was a partisan ploy driven to manipulate his base or other uneducated voters.

    I did vote for him and against the agenda supported by people like you. I will likely do so again. Maybe he will get 90 million votes this round

    And you know what those "red" states have that most blue states don't? (with the exception of CA). Go ahead and take a guess?

    Something is definitely “weak”

    If color coding is needed I can do that as well
    Kentucky
    South Carolina
    Oklahoma
    Arkansas
    Alaska
    Alabama
    West Virginia

    New Mexico
    Mississippi
    Louisiana


    Let me know if you are unable to pick out the trend here

    You want to talk about something being too costly while supporting college debt forgiveness at the same time:) HA!!

    It’s the most costly and biggest slap in the face to responsible people in the history of this country.
