Even a broken clock is right (about some things) twice a day.

Problem with the SAFER grants is the strings attached. Pays for you to hire firefighters with government funds, yet 4 years down the road the feds wash their hands of the matter and the cost is passed to the local taxpayers.

And even so, all the FEMA grants are directed toward "Large cities with heavy run volumes", which leaves your average rural volunteer riding the tailboard of a 35 year old fire truck with inadequate safety gear.

OK...I read the FR posting. I honestly thought this was a parody of the VP. A bit of humor about Biden and his speaking gaffes.
Really...I did.

Then I click on the link and discover..no, it really is Joe Bidens speech. Our current Vice President.

This guy is an idiot.
