It is hard to know what the thought process is for concluding that disasters and disaster relief require tax cuts. To me, it has the flavor of a Star Trek episode where Kirk must understand an alien culture (usually by smooching some blue-skinned, finned female) before being able to broker a peace agreement. How can we understand the alien thought process here, that a Federal government sending billions of dollars to a stricken area requires tax cuts to do so? And, no, I'm not volunteering to smooch an orange-skinned alien to speed understanding.
