President Joe Biden on Thursday announced the federal government would cover 100% of costs for the initial disaster response to the Los Angeles wildfires.

Meeting with federal officials at the White House, Biden said the funds would go toward debris removal, temporary shelters, salaries for first responders and more for 180 days.

Biden said he emphasized to California officials they should "spare no expense to do what they need to do."

"The cost of the debris cleanup is gigantic, gigantic. The cost of replacing the housing is almost exponential," he continued. "Anybody can give you a number now, they have no idea what they're talking about. It's big, big, big."

So the poor people of “flyover country” have to pay for multimillion dollar mansions to be rebuilt. God I hate the Biden’s.

California can have a lot of federal dollars if they keep this up.

Wow, the contrast between this reaction and his reaction to the Hurricane Helene devastation really highlights that he considers people in Republican or rural areas to be second-class citizens.

Just like the Baltimore Bridge and Silicon Valley Bank. Let the taxpayers get screwed.

Unlike the Republicans in Western NC, and Palestine, Ohio. They get screwed by Biden.
