Zone1 Is FEMA basically another version of the Dept of Education?

[Admiral Rockwell Tory]

Why should Florida get more?
States rights

Base it on population. They are #3.

 

[rightwinger]

So you would give Florida and California the same fixed amount for disaster relief as Alaska? Do you ever think?

It is the American way

 

[Rambunctious]

FEMA.... Its like an old wooden boat... the first day you bought it was the best day of your life... the day you sold it was even better...
Government agencies get bloated and useless very quickly...
Its always better to let the states do for their citizens... with the governments funding straight to the state during a disaster...

 

[Moonglow]

Should FEMA be eliminated along with the DOE and just provide all emergency resource funding and education funding DIRECTLY to the states? Year after year all we see out of these agencies is failure. Should FEMA and the DOE be preserved, dissolved or reduced?
I say begin with a reduction and fully eliminate both departments by 2026. What say you?

It's more like the DEA...

 

[Moonglow]

We need a whole new system. FEMA and insurance companies don't work. They're both worried more about making money than they are about people in need. Alot of things are like that nowadays. Banks, drug companies, multinationals, politicians. We should probably replace most of those things.

How much does FEMA earn?

 

[Delldude]

FEMA is there to provide emergency relief as it is needed

That's the problem. They come in and take over. They should assist, not ramrod.

FEMA is there for states that are overwhelmed by a disaster

Let the states handle it..........Example, Florida.

You can’t allocate money in anticipation of a future disaster.

The fed does.........in fact they were low on cash due to spending emergency monies on sick birds.

Let all 50 states chip in on disasters impacting one or two states

Why not each state prepare for a disaster in their own state?

You must have a very large outhouse to shovel shit like that.

 

[Delldude]

You must have a very large outhouse to shovel shit like that.

Ask Ron DeSantis how they did it. Each state has their own emergency response branch.

FEMA can provide cash assistance.

 

[Blisterfinger]

MAGA States will be given their allocation of disaster funds
If they go over, too bad for them

MAGA is pretty much your Superior. We do things the right way, look at the way California has turned out under your dishonest auspice.

 

[Sparker]

FEMA could become TEMA, an agency that works only in the territories: Puerto Rico, Virgin Islands, etc.

FEMA and DOE do more harm than good. Get rid of both.

Mississippi?

 

[Blisterfinger]

Mississippi?

California?

 

[San Souci]

FEMA needs to be expanded
We have more natural disasters than ever

No. It needs to be broken up and assigned to the States.

 

[Delldude]

No. It needs to be broken up and assigned to the States.

Dept of edu too.

 

[rightwinger]

No. It needs to be broken up and assigned to the States.

Doesn’t work

We have no idea which states will face natural disasters
We need the federal government to step in and help with major natural disasters

The bigger question is, can red states go it alone? Doubtful!

 

[rightwinger]

Red states are short sighted

We didn’t have any natural disasters last year, why should we budget money this year?
Let’s cut taxes instead

You have no idea where any natural disaster will happen.
States can be prepared, which they already are......the fed doesn't need to come in an take virtual control, they can assist. Florida booted them out, other states can too.

Abolishing FEMA and the Dept of Education and providing direct funding to the states makes perfect sense. Democrats prefer failure and corruption.
