eric cantor's ugly ransom

[spanone]

Yesterday night, MSNBC showed a clip of high school students at a graduation ceremony in Joplin, Mo., last week hearing a speaker tell them how fortunate they were to be embarking on a new and exciting chapter in their lives.

One of those graduates, who is now homeless, talked about how different things were a week later and how fortunate he was to be alive.

Surveying the ruins of her home and the rubble around her, an elderly woman shook and cried as her husband put his arm around her. "All we have now is each other," she told the TV cameraman.

In the wake of the deadliest tornadoes in Missouri's history Republican Majority Leader Eric Cantor said he wouldn't okay aid money for the Joplin tornado victims unless Democrats agreed to an equal amount of spending cuts.

Cantor said, "If there is support for a supplemental, it would be accompanied by support for having pay-fors to that supplemental."
