either we have a federal FEMA emergency assistance program or we don’t
(I am all for transferring any such governmental activity to the states and locals as this is NOT a constitutional federal function and the feds are manifestly incapable of handling it...but anyway.... as long as we have a federal energency assistance program....)
offering a paltry $750 cheque is not proper emergency assistance, it is an insult!
WTF do Biden/IneligibleHarris think they’re doing?

It would make much more sense to me for states to manage their own emergencies. Personally, I would trust me state more to care about me and other constituents.
However, states have to balance their budgets.
The federal government has an unlimited supply of $$$.
What they can’t tax, they can print.
What’s ironic about that is, FEMA just asked for more money.
Maybe they should ask Zalenski
Just a practical question: What good does a cheque (in any amount) do these people in their devestated surroundings? Where are they going to cash it? Where spend the cash?
