“Everyone wants the feds to foot the bill so they don’t spend money to prepare.”
Yet under the Constitution, States have the police power, which means the power to deal with public health issues. States are the first responders. The feds are just backup.
This has been a failure of state after state to be prepared.
New York and Cali. always ‘wait’ until a crisis is out of hand....every time, Their approach is never about resolving any problem early, it’s about how they can use the crisis to their advantage...their aim is to generate new revenue into their otherwise bankrupt coffers.
