FEMA has always been primarily a Federal financing agency, providing funding to the locals after the crisis hits to help them respond and rebuild. That is why FEMA’s website baldly states don’t expect them to show up with their aid until 3 or 4 days after the disaster strikes.

Absolutely. We had a flood here about 12 years ago and we were on our own, pumping the water out of our basements, throwing out all our lost possessions (dumpsters provided by the city), helping our neighbors out. FEMA came in about 3 days, they didn't help with any of that. they just confirmed that we were affected and a couple days later delivered us our checks.

This was the case with the earthquake in LA in 1994 also. Nobody expected FEMA guys to come around and dig them out of the rubble. You filled out a form documenting your damage, and a few weeks or months later they spit out a check. Beginning and end of FEMA story.

The liberals know this. It's what they created FEMA for in the first place. They're just applying their usual bad faith and opportunistic spin to the latest target, facts be damned.
