  7. Today's Buzz: Cut spending to pay for disaster relief?

    President Obama traveled to Moore, Okla., on Sunday to tour the town devastated by a huge tornado that killed 24 people and destroyed thousands of homes, two schools and a hospital. The president consoled residents and assured them that the federal government would provide them long-term assistance. Recovery from the storm could run into the billions of dollars. But some members of Congress, including Republican U.S. Sen. Tom Coburn of Oklahoma, have argued that the cost of federal disaster aid should be offset through cuts in other areas of the budget to avoid adding to the deficit.  Do you agree, or do you side with critics who say disaster victims shouldn’t have to wait while Congress looks for cuts? Or should Congress set aside more money ahead of time for disasters, so that possible cuts or borrowing aren’t an issue? Talk about it!
