GOP cut crucial weather satellites with fierce hurricane season looming
The GOP-sponsored 2011 spending bill slashed the budget for the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, slashing $700 million targeted for an overhaul of the nation’s aging environmental satellite system. NOAA scientists have stated unequivocally the existing satellites will fail and if they aren’t replaced, the agency’s ability to provide life-saving information to the American people will be compromised.
As someone pointed out in the comments, Tornado Alley is mostly made up of Red States. Are they reaping what the Tea Party and the hard-core GOP conservative wing is sowing? Unfortunately, you get the fate that you don't pay for.
