Do The Tornados Reveal A Perverse GOP Ideology?

"House Majority Leader Eric Cantor has made it clear that he has no intention of coming to the aid of Joplin, Missouri – the town ravaged by a tornado that has taken the lives of more than 100 people with hundreds more still unaccounted for and thousands displaced as a result of their homes and businesses being destroyed – unless and until budget offsets can be found to pay for any federal aid to help these Missourians in need."

Do you think this is a proper way to view the relationship between the Government and afflicted communities?
Or do the budget deficits prompt a new way to deal with natural disasters?
