Romney should stick to it. He's not saying end emergency relief, he's saying put it into more responsible hands, the States.
What if that particular state gets devastated by something, and can't help itself??? Should we just hope all the other states are generous enough to bail them out? Or....go ahead and put into place ahead of time a structure to respond to it when it does?
I pick preparation over just plain hoping.
No, you pick government dependency over self reliance. That has never been our countries values.
