After bankrolling illegals, FEMA says it will run out of cash for hurricane season

Is there a such thing as double-entry bookkeeping at the Federal Emergency Management Agency?

Or do they spend on migrants like there's no tomorrow?

According to the Miami Herald, FEMA, which got its budget topped up extra to the tune of billions just a year ago, is once again running out of money:

With a grim storm forecast ahead, the nation’s top disaster responders are in danger of running out of cash at the peak of hurricane season — again.

The Federal Emergency Management Agency’s Disaster Relief Fund is on pace to run dry by August. Without congressional action, that could leave Florida and other states staring at massive expenses and slower recovery efforts if a major storm hits. The chances for that are high ahead of what is predicted to be the busiest season on record.

At a press conference at the National Hurricane Center last week, FEMA Deputy Administrator Erik Hooks said the agency would switch to prioritizing “life-saving, life-sustaining work” if funding dwindles. That could leave important programs like individual financial aid or reimbursements for governments cleaning up storm debris on the chopping block. By September, the agency that leads disaster response across the country projects it could be nearly $7 billion short.

The Herald noted that Florida's senators, Marco Rubio and Rick Scott, foresaw the scope of the problem a month ago, and noted its impact on Florida's hurricane season, where it's quite possible the state could be hit by the devastating disasters starting in August.

Par for the course with the government for decades, short of what Trump tried to do.

Here’s a very good explanation of why this year’s hurricane forecast does look to be for an active season. The meteorologist explains how and why the la Nina plays into it

It is very well presented and explained and is only 9 minutes long.

When President Trump wanted to build the wall, it was always a struggle to find the money, and get funding approved.

Under Biden — paying off student loans is illegal, But they do it. Money for Ukraine can always be found. Money to care for illegal immigrants? Not a problem — just loot the disaster emergency fund.

Trump should remember this for his second term — the funding for the wall isn’t an issue. Just do it. Who will stop you??

Disgusting.

Putting crimmigrants first over Americans WHOSE MONEY IT BELONGS TO.

Anti-Americans, traitors, pushing for the destruction of our country and Americans will be left with no shelter, no food and no country so the illegals can live in luxury.

Redumblicans better tell the Marxist Rat party to pound sand when they come looking for their hand out again. Go find the FEMA cash in already approved unspent allocated budgets. Like the IRS to begin with.

Democrats want to protect illegals, drug addicts, criminal and those who hurt or threaten others.

Think about that for a second.

Interesting video and the best explanation that I’ve seen so far of el Nino/la Nina.

Thank you for posting this

As a meteorologist, I found it very concise.

Joe Bastardi called this in early December before anyone else. All the rest are now joining him.

While many of these will blame humans, he shows the ocean cycle to be dependent on underground volcanic activity.

I’ve seen that. He is very good and more accurate than most of them.

The guy knows meteorology like no one else I have ever met or seen.

Based on your knowledge, do you agree with his forecast?
It seems to make sense to my untrained mind.

He often speaks in goofy meteorological terms, but once you get beyond that, he does fairly well. I always fast forward through his song selection for his Saturday summary.

Nonetheless his charts of the volcanic activity of the Pacific rim when added to the La Nina info are just an amazing correlation. He's been ahead of the curve on that, plus he fights against the idiocy of the CO2 nonsense.
