It’s time to abolish FEMA

AMERICAN THINKER ^

[DIRTYSECRET]

When Hurricane Helene ravaged the Southeast recently, horror stories of ineptitude by federal government agencies abounded. Repeats of Lahaina and East Palestine.

Here is a proposed solution: abolish FEMA and remove the federal government from the picture

[fuzzylogic]

1. That they didn’t set aside a budget for hurricane season should be a fire-able offense.

2. Clearly FEMA is a slush fund for D policies and should be abolished. There should only be a federal fund that can be distributed to LOCAL emergency services when events occur.

How are you doing? Are you and your wife safe?

All of that area has flooded before. Lots of those areas was created from flooding. Water kills, from the river to the ocean. People who decide to live near either always suffer from a historic 'event'.

Everybody and their brother who has been to Old Fort and Asheville knew that such development shouldn't be right next to such. Flooding always can happen, this is a repeat of the 2021 German flooding.

I'm not denigrating people who decide to live in such areas, but they signed up for the risks. I've had my homes damaged from Elena thru Harvey, and countless others. Just don't make it so other Americans have to pay for such risks and subsidize such repairs, when its a States job first to handle such damages.
