HOUSTON – For the second year in a row, the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) says its Disaster Fund has run out of money.
FEMA’s administrator stated that the agency will now focus on providing funds solely to those with immediate needs.
The agency is currently awaiting Congress to approve a $9 billion supplemental request to replenish the disaster fund. However, with Congress in recess until the end of August, the approval process is delayed.
[Snip]
Initially, FEMA estimated a 10-day turnaround for dispersing aid, but the process has extended beyond that timeframe.
The deadline to apply for [Hurricane Beryl] Disaster Assistance from FEMA is August 15.
FEMA’s announcement came after the agency released a monthly report that showed the agency projecting a $6.2 billion deficit by the end of the fiscal year. For natural disasters that have occurred since Aug. 1, 2017, FEMA has spent $271 billion in disaster relief. (More than half of that, $137 billion, came from costs associated with the COVID pandemic.)
Biden was the disaster.
........but what will we do with the illegal invaders???????
where ever they can steal they will
I left out the part about climate change.
It’s all been embezzled by Joey Bags and Hunter.
Used to house immigrants?
“...$9 billion supplemental request to replenish the disaster fund...”
A month from now, we will be hearing how the DOD suddenly found another $9 billion for funding Ukraine war efforts. The money was just laying around until auditors “found” it to flush down the Ukraine toilet.
The collapse of the USA empire is coming. The pain and misery will be well deserved for what the deep state has done to America.
Don’t forget Biden’s faithful Secretary of Homeland Security, Alejandro Mayorkas.
Huh, if Pooty gets his way in Ukraine, the long term fallout will cost us tens of trillions. And that’s the best case scenario.
...instead of feeding, clothing, housing, paying, transporting and otherwise benefiting illegal alien invaders from other countries that wish to destroy ours.
What the heck was FEMA doing wasting $137 Billion on Covid?!?
Vote purchasing monies, another facet of the STEAL. Demoncrats spending your money for their purposes, propping up socialism wherever they foist it upon us.
Slush fund?
Yep!
Reminds me of a line from a character in the mid ‘80s era of Saturday Night Live (back when it used to be funny).
“Where we make money the old fashioned way: WE STEAL IT!”
Just in time for peak Hurricane season.
The POTATUS is just a stooge.
The people who installed him are the disaster.
Après Deep State, le déluge.
All the more reason for Americans do to everything they can to take care of themselves and each other.
Don’t depend on government to bail you out.
You could have a very long wait.
