Republican Senator demands that budget cuts not apply to his state!

[JohnSmith2007 353]

SC Can't pay for it even if they wanted to without this $50K. The port is important to the state and I understand why Graham is upset. But don't let me stop you from your misleading edits. Carry on.

Yeah, lots of projects are important to lots of states. When budget cuts happen, important projects get shelved. That is the whole freakin' idea you genius.

She needs to grow up and just deal with. If South Carolina can't afford it, they can't have it.

You people wanted budget cuts but when a cut affects a red state suddenly OHNOWTFBBQ!

I guess all the cuts should be limited to NY and Cali to keep you people happy.

You got called on an obvious distortion. Take it like a man.

What are you on about? South Carolina can't move forward with this project because of a cut in the budget. Republicans wanted these cuts. And now they're whining about it.

If the cut affected a project in New York y'all would be cheering it no matter how much NY needed it.

SC can't pay for it on their own until this $50k is spent by the feds. I have a feeling if it were a matter of the state paying the $50k it wouldn't be an issue at all.

Sure man, good job. Keep it up.

Yes, if the state could pay the $50K then it wouldn't be subject to a cut in the federal budget. Duh?

Sure man, good job. Keep it up.

Why don't you come out and admit you're all for budget cuts except when they affect red state projects?

Typical Republican-Democrat regimer - arguing over $50000 when the country is facing a $1600000000000 deficit (8 more zeroes).

Reading comprehension problems today?

For critics who said the state should come up with its own funds for the Army Corp of Engineers' study to deepen the port, Graham spokesman Kevin Bishop said such an easy solution is actually impossible under federal law.

The South Carolina State Ports Authority, which is responsible for operations of the Charleston Port, is ready to write the check for the state's share of the the study, but federal law requires Congress to cough up funds to enable the Army Corp of Engineers to move forward with the study. It would be the second step in the process; a first study already determined a federal interest in deepening the harbor.

But you already know it and are just trying to make light of your distortions. You got caught, admit it.

Na, in this case it is just the troll being the troll. He knows what he did and he also knows he got caught.

Gary,

Lot of projects nationwide can not move forward without federal money.

Lots of those projects have been shelved due to these budget cuts, which the GOP wanted.

You got what you asked for. Try not to be such a little b#### about it.

Arjit,

You know that the $50K isn't the issue here. You just tried to make the senator look petty over $50K and you got caught. Try not to be such a little b#### about it.

It's not about the dollar amount.

Republicans wanted cuts. Cuts mean shelving projects around the country. Everyone understands this except for Senator Graham and you.

And you know that $50K is pocket change in this budget. You used selective editing to make a political statement and you got caught. Everyone understands that but you.

Yes it is pocket change. So what? It's a budget cut. You guys like budget cuts, yes or no?

I am starting to get the impression South Carolina is some kind of Holy Land with these RWN nuts. Confederate nostalgia, perhaps?

Cut anywhere but not there! For gods sakes, not there!

You guys? So you want more spending? You like the deficits? Are you coming down on the side of increasing the budget? Is that what you are saying?
