I generally don't watch too much TV, especially the news) but i have been watching flood updates. I imagine from what we have all seen, the amount of Money Texas (and possibly Louisiana depending on the storm) will need is staggering. Once Congress comes back on September 5 they only have about six weeks to address the budget ceiling. Add to that funds for the border wall (the one Mexico was going to pay for), disaster relief, and I see fireworks.
I don't imagine we will hear much about health care, despite going on eight years of promises to repeal and replace. This should be one of the most dramatic, emotionally charged times we have seen. One of the things that has been mentioned was the Texas Senators holding up the Sandy relief. They did it for a reason ( which you may or may not agree with) but they are really going to get a lot of abuse.
What at a mess. But a very important time.
