And yes, we should be making political hay out of Republican politicians' uncaring responses to disasters.

I've been trying to find exact quotes from Ryan, especially on video, about disaster relief, showing a reluctance to pay for it. Ideally something as damning as Romney's comments on disaster relief from June of 2011, which I posted earlier this morning.

So far all I've got is the recommendation from his budget committee, calling for all disaster relief to "be fully offset within the discretionary levels provided in this resolution."
