Rep. Don Lundgren, R-Calif., said that Congress should budget enough money for natural disasters in advance, and when emergencies exceed budgetary limits there's no reason why Congress can't find cuts to pay for those costs.
"I'm concerned about people in natural disasters," Lundgren said. "I'm also concerned about the 12.1 percent unemployment rate in my district and the fact that people are in the toughest economic times they've ever had and they're looking for us to get some serious budget discipline."
Of course the only thing "serious budget discipline" is going to do for unemployment right now is extend the pain of it but keep talking like that.
