Answers
1Well I wouldn't call it a debate for one thing, it's partisan rhetoric.
An elected official governs the populace, not just those who voted in their favour.
Aid or relief is n't a reward, and shouldn't be given or received as a quid pro quo i.e. you shouldn't be expected to give support or approval in return.
I'm not sure if there's any logical fallacy as being given aid isn't an argument, though maybe you could call it a non sequitur.
Also, you can't cash or tear up a proposed check.
