From Rep. Thomas Massie:

Quote
Senator Rand Paul offered to transfer money from foreign aid to pay for the Harvey disaster relief package. I proposed the same idea in the House, but the rules prevented me from getting a vote on an amendment. Senator Paul was able to get a vote on his amendment but sadly it failed in the Senate. Do you agree that instead of adding to our debt, we should use money that was earmarked for foreign aid, to pay for disaster relief funding? I can't in good conscience saddle our children with more debt... they will have to pay for their own weather disasters and shouldn't have to pay for ours as well.
Onward and upward,
