FEMA runs out of water, solicits bids from private sector.

It's also not a "fact" that there was a law preventing FEMA from responding for three days. Or that those awesome Republicans changed that law.

It damn sure not a sound policy to wait that damn long either. I guess this agency is Fraudulent.

Buying bottle water does not mean they have run out, but I suspect you know that.

I figured even though FEMA has said, very clearly, "we have not run out of bottled water", that there would still be people who insist they have.

They do not have enough on hand for the duration of the emergency, they are allocation what they do have to wealthier neighborhoods, and they have yet to reach some of the harder hit areas. If this was McCain you would be screaming, and I would tell you the exact same thing, FEMA is not competent to handle things like this because it is the government.

Could you link to a credible site (not breitbart) which confirms this claim?

did anyone follow the link in the OP?

Pretty sure FEMA purchases supplies on an ongoing basis. The existence of an RFP doesn't support Breitbart's claim that FEMA ran out of supplies or was only providing water to rich people.

Windbag probably thinks FEMA should be storing enough fresh water for every person in the country for a week.

it's obvious that in his sheltered little world he's never noticed that plastic springs leaks and water goes bad.

They should. if not, why not? and therefore what's the purpose of FEMA?

You think all our tax dollars should go to pay for an agency that's sits up on their asses all day until a catastrophy happens? You damn right they should be out working for their money that WE pay them.

I would much rather prefer a water bottle stacking operation in case of emergency vs. sitting on their asses all day watching porn on MY tax dollar paid-for computers.

And they always want it delivered to a staging area in East Farmingdale, NY.

Is there a reason FEMA shouldn't have enough water for a large population for a week? What happens if the Ogallala Aquifier is contaminated and everyone that depends on it can't drink? Do you not care because most of them are Republicans?
