Congress won't offset any ''Emergency'' relief spending bill with cuts to other programs anyway.
It's also unconstitutional and just as anti-moral as any other income redistribution program and disaster victims would ultimately be better off without it.
As far as FEMA, it should be abolished and any responsibility for disaster relief should be left to local communities, civic and charitable organizations and Individuals and 100% of the recovery costs should be deductable from the Individual's income tax. As well, businesses should also be granted tax relief. Tax-free savings accounts could also be employed in order to save for such disaster.
