Eric Cantor, the No. 2 House Republican, is pressing for budget cuts to cover the cost of cleaning up after Hurricane Irene and other disasters.

.

Senate Democrats said funding shouldnt be delayed by political bickering.

.

Both Republicans and Democrats said more funding is needed to help communities rebuild. The Federal Emergency Management Agency redirected money in a $792 million disaster fund to states hit by Irene from yet-to-be-approved rebuilding projects related to previous natural disasters.

.

Irene left behind high water in New York, New Jersey and Vermont, which suffered its worst flooding in 75 years. FEMA is helping state and local officials complete damage assessments, aiding in search-and-rescue operations and has sent food and water to areas hit by the storm.

.

Those monies for responding to disasters are not unlimited, said House Majority Leader Cantor of Virginia in an Aug. 29 interview on Fox News. Well find other places to save so that we can fund the role the federal government needs to play.

.

Earlier this month, Congress averted a federal government default by resolving at the last minute a battle over raising the debt limit that was fueled by growing concern about the widening federal deficit. Cantor pressured President Barack Obama to back bigger cuts in government programs without raising taxes.

.

FEMA Praised

.

As lawmakers debate how to pay for disaster relief, FEMA is winning praise. The agency six years ago was widely criticized for its slow response to Hurricane Katrina.

.

FEMA, along with its state and local partners, was ready to respond to Hurricane Irenes damage in Connecticut and across the East Coast, and was proactive in doing so, Senator Joe Lieberman, the Connecticut independent whos chairman of the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee, said in a statement.
