Yes, Mitt Romney Called Federal Spending On Disaster Relief “Immoral”

As Hurricane Sandy makes her way toward the United States’ east coast, Governors in the path of the hurricane are declaring their states disaster areas. Even New Jersey’s Republican Governor Chris Christie said in a press conference today that he spoke with President Obama, and he is set to accept help from the Federal government as Sandy approaches his state.

But imagine if Mitt Romney was in charge. Huh? You can’t remember what Mitt Romney had to say about the government helping its citizens in the event of a natural disaster?

Well let me jog your memory.

Remember during the Republican primaries when Romney and his fellow Republicans were trying to out nut each other? A question was asked about government relief during times of natural disasters. Mitt Romney answered that question by saying that federal spending on disaster relief is “immoral.”

 We cannot — we cannot afford to do those things without jeopardizing the future for our kids. It is simply immoral, in my view, for us to continue to rack up larger and larger debts and pass them on to our kids, knowing full well that we’ll all be dead and gone before it’s paid off. It makes no sense at all.

Just what Americans need. A president who thinks it is “immoral” to provide help to Americans after a natural disaster.

I'm just tired of the lies and nonsense coming from the GOP, so this is my little contribution to combat the nonsense!
