Thanks for posting this.

This shouldn't surprise anyone.

FEMA should hire Walmart, Home Depot and Lowes to handle the acquistion of emergency food/water/materials and the transportation of these needed items to disaster areas.

Then, FEMA can hire the Salvation Army to distribute what is needed to the needy. Keep the Red Cross out of this. We saw their greed post 9/11.

Then, we can donate to the providers or the Salvation Army and eliminate all of the greedy paws that show up after any disaster like Jihad Cindy's group of pseudo vets.

Last but not least to really frost the left wing, Haliburton should be hired as the overall Project Manager in damage control, clearing and rebuilding.

Excellent suggestions! I would add 'and Catholic Charities' to the Salvation Army, however.

Why should FEMA "hire" organizations that are already doing this work anyway?
Federal funding always has strings attached...
Seems to me we'd be better off if FEMA DOESN'T "hire" them.

"FEMA should hire Walmart, Home Depot and Lowes to handle the acquistion of emergency food/water/materials and the transportation of these needed items to disaster areas."

Got it in one. It would be incredibly expensive for FEMA to set up an entirely separate chain of communication and warehouses "just for emergency situations", which is the likely government response. But that is undoubtedly exactly what the Democrats will suggest.
