President Joe Biden announced Monday that survivors of the Maui fires would receive “a one-time $700 payment per household,” after he faced criticism for telling a reporter he had “no comment” on the rising death toll.
His account posted: “We’re laser-focused on getting aid to survivors, including Critical Needs Assistance: a one-time $700 payment per household offering relief during an unimaginably difficult time.”
The one-time payment of $700 per household is less than the estimated cost to each American household for the Ukraine War, according to a budget expert at the Heritage Foundation.
Richard Stern, director of The Heritage Foundation’s Grover M. Hermann Center for the Federal Budget, calculated that the congressionally-approved aid to Ukraine of $113 billion amounts to roughly $900 per American household.

Thanks, Joe...
>>$700 per household? What an insult.
When did it become a conservative value to write big checks from the govt. every time something bad happens to people? Is this really what we want?
House insurance exists for a reason - if one chooses to ‘go bare’, thats on them. Govt should help with rebuilding infrastructure and the immediate aftermath - but should we really be advocating sending 10-15-25-50K checks directly to people? How much is enough?
Especially for an almost 100% blue state - why are conservatives pushing for more government handouts to blue voters?
Makes sense. You were laser-focused on beaming energy onto and into the now-crispy homes.
I can’t remember the last time government rewarded good behavior or didn’t reward bad choices.
there’s gotta be a backstop about how those fires started
wasn’t o e official formerly in Las Vegas when that shooting happened ?
This is Hawaii! Did you natives can put up a grass shack in minutes. They chose not to have insurance, so the $700 for emergency food seems very consistent with past history, the rest is on them.
And how many billions for climate hoax crap?
Hey Hawaii! Joe hates you.
What does he care? Hawaii will still go 80% for Biden in the next election.
You are correct. They never learn.
“This is Hawaii! Did you natives can put up a grass shack in minutes. They chose not to have insurance, so the $700 for emergency food seems very consistent with past history, the rest is on them.”
That kind of sounds like Kamala Harris. Not sure WTH you are saying.
You don’t know if they had insurance ... Everyone gets the $700, insured or not.
There’s no grass for a shack left!
And they’ll end up paying it back in taxes.

$700 per household for Americans whose homes were razed during a preventable disaster. People stood in the ocean watching their community disintegrate and their neighbors burn to death.
Seven. Hundred. Lousy. Dollars.
But $113 BILLION to Ukraine.
Good job, Big Guy. pic.twitter.com/UsWOb4GHx8

That amount wouldn’t keep Joe in pudding for a week.
Japan as offered to help - if asked.
Hawaii Gov. in Aftermath of Deadly Maui Wildfires: “I’m Already Thinking of Ways for State to Acquire That Land”

$700 per household???? for a family that lost its home, or one needing to spend many months in paid for temporary housing and everyone needing clothes and basic possessions? Let them eat cake, right? How much to the Biden crew of fools spend on buying and installing rainbow flags on all the U.S. embassies, just as Afghanistan was taken over by our enemies?
Hawaiin voting machines will always vote democrat.
Palestine OH got a delayed visit from Booty Gig.
That’s all.
And $700 in Hawaii won’t go very far.
They don’t have to cheat in Hawaii.
