And so what f they "knew" the offsets weren't going to pass? Do you only stand by your convictions as long as the majority agrees with you? The fact remains they were against the supplemental relief without the appropriate budgetary offsets as stated in YOUR article. You can disagree with that (I can certainly understand and may even agree with you on that), but that does not equate to hypocrisy until these guys ask for supplemental relief themselves.
So let's discuss the offsets they are suggesting for the funds they are going to receive.
What exactly are they?
Surely they are not just going to ask for funds without suggesting offsets are they?
