The calls for swift funding from Congress comes as a key Oklahoma Republican, Sen. Tom Coburn, is renewing his long-standing call that any disaster relief funds should be fully offset, potentially putting him in the awkward spot of opposing an emergency aid package for his home state. The concern among conservatives like Coburn is that Congress continually doles out billions in funding, often labeling it as “emergency” spending, and does little in the aftermath to clean up the skyrocketing national debt.
