(Reuters) - Governors Chris Christie of New Jersey and Andrew Cuomo of New York excoriated the U.S. House of Representatives on Wednesday for delaying action on a $60.4 billion Superstorm Sandy disaster aid bill, according to a joint statement.

Lawmakers ended their session on Tuesday night without voting on the measure, a move that Cuomo and Christie said was a "dereliction of duty."

"This continued inaction and indifference ... is inexcusable," the governors said. Some residents are still without jobs, homes and heat more than two months after the storm made landfall.

Handouts are for the weak. Gut FEMA.

That bill was weighted down with billions of dollars in pork barrel riders. They thought they would get a free pass.

Stop asking the government to get you out of a tough situation. Be real Americans and deal with it.

I see you missed the point about the bill being weighted down with billions of dollars in pork barrel riders tacked onto it yet you decided to post that anyways.

Boehner had agreed to put it on the floor anyway, despite all that alleged pork.

Then he changed his mind and never told anyone why.

Pretty strange a gun toting American from Alaska would be concerned about some liberals on the east coast. You'd think real Americans would be out shooting stuff.

Kudos to Boehner being fiscally repsonsible no matter what his reasons.

Don't post just to post.

I don't. You just don't like or agree with what I post, so you'd rather call my posts stupid or off topic or whatever else you'd like. Don't worry about it so much. If you don't like it, scroll on by. You'll probably be happier that way.

Take your forum policing somewhere else.
