“I don’t know what the politics of those involved are, but I am willing to bet a large sum that politics is the #1 reason this has not been approved.”
Yes, why should all of us taxpayers pay for California fire protection?
Exactly why the go-ahead for this was given by the Obama Regime figuring that Hillary would be the Obama third term.
Thanks for the clarification.
So, why doesn’t California fund this?
I’m a little torn here. I think it was evil that 0vomit allowed Texas to burn and stood by doing nothing as a political ploy. I don’t think that Trump should do “paybacks” by letting Democrat states burn in retaliation. But I also don’t think that every time there is a disaster - regardless of red state/blue state - that it is the responsibility of the federal government (taxpayers) to pay for it.
That said, if the federal government wasn’t confiscating such an obscene amount of our income, there would be a lot more for us to take care of ourselves. Sending money to Washington in order to give Washington the power to dispense small amounts back to the states just feeds the massive bureaucracy and wastes our money.
