Traditionally when a region suffers the nation pulls together. Only for the past two decades have the callous conservatives banded together and let American Citizens suffer do to natural disasters.
In 1906 San Francisco received nearly every tent the US Army had, to shelter those displaced by the fire and earthquake, within 72 hours; the trailers sent by FEMA to New Orleans may still be sitting in a corporate yard (I have not researched that, but the last I heard was they smelled of formaldehyde and were unfit for human occupation).
There is a difference between natural disasters and deliberately irresponsible behavior with the expectation that someone else will clean up your mess.
Really, I haven't noticed the Tea Party members in the H. of Rep. acknowledging such a difference.
