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.

Why do we Americans even pay taxes?? They just give it to foreigners and print more when they want it.

F-you dementia Joe.
The Dems will protect and pardon criminals and illegals unless its Trump.
Great, heard less than a week ago that meteorologist predict a very active hurricane season.
>It is what we have come to expect.<
Screwed again. No surprise. Too many dumbazz turds in this country.
FEMA runs out of white peoples money.
Same here-—News to me FEMA is bankrolling illegals.
BIDEN ADMIN will steal $$$$$$ from church plates to help INVADERS.
Hurricane states are mostly Red.
Suck it up, Florida, Carolinas, Texas and Louisiana.
Joe Biden doesn’t care about American people.
Yes. The air flow patterns he describes of where the air is rising and sinking makes a lot of sense.
The hurricane development happens when warm, moist tropical air rises and forms clouds. If that happens over warm Atlantic waters, it starts a cycle of trying to balance out.
When the air leaves an area, it creates an area of lower air pressure at the sea surface. The air from the around that area moves into it, setting up winds. Then as long as the water temperature is about 80F, it becomes a self-sustaining system. The more the air rises, the faster the winds rush in to balance it out.
During the el nino, the air is sinking over the Atlantic, which suppresses cloud development. That’s what gives us clear, fair weather.
I skip his music as well.
Yeah, he is kind of goofy, but he does know his stuff and the ocean warming from volcanic activity makes a LOT of sense. Heat does not transfer well from a gas to a liquid.
But the warming water from the earth produces what is needed to warm the water to start convection that kicks off the tropical cyclones.
Don't give them any ideas......
This looks to be intentional and political.
Florida is hurricane central.
They have a republican governor.
Obama can be a pissy little bitch sometimes.
What they mean, "Run out?"
Can't they just print more?
Let it run out.
Fund them, and they’ll only get more illegals...NOT aid to those struck by hurricanes.
Illegal aliens are not in their bailiwick.
These are misspend appropriations and they will continue unless and until their house is cleaned, and those responsible are imprisoned.
You’re right hiker.
