Trump says FEMA to be wound down after hurricane season

[Twisted Gypsy Child]

It is sad Biden did so little for those people!

If you had a very cheap house, you might have got enough help.

FEMA can provide up to $42,500 for Housing Assistance and up to $42,500 for Other Needs Assistance. These maximums apply to disasters declared in Fiscal Year 2024 and may be adjusted for future years. Some types of assistance, like initial "Serious Needs Assistance", do not count toward these limits. FEMA.gov can offer additional financial support even if your insurance already covers some costs.

First you are thrilled FEMA is going away and now you are bitching that FEMA did not help?
You have no sandwiches to bring to a picnic

The people having orgasms over FEMA going away I suspect have never lived through or have had to deal with a natural disaster.

It probably does need congress approval.

FEMA was originally established in 1979 by President Carter under Executive Order 12127 and Executive Order 12148.
Why does it "probably" need congressional approval to dissolve?

A phrase I never heard of but like.

Yes I don't understand - "FEMA didn't give us enough so wack 'em." That seems contraindicated.

Nope, you got mad again because I posted what FEMA actually does for victims of storms.

FEMA and the SBA (Small Business Administration) actually.

Read the EO from 1979 and what has happened since congress has changed it.

Not really certain where to put this one. The administration intends to eliminate FEMA after the current hurricane season and give out less money. I believe that requires Congress however.

Trump also said he planned to distribute disaster relief funds directly from the president’s office.

So the administration is wanting to make disaster relief more efficient, effective, less slow, less bureaucratic, less wasteful than is the case with the current FEMA apparatus.

They might do it better. They might not.

But trying should not be condemned.

nope you just like every other MAGA here salivating that FEMA is going away. Red states will get hurt bigly.
Out goes the baby out goes the bathwater

Well if they quit giving out aid that makes it more efficient I guess.

States pay into FEMA to be able to collect.

If Trump cancels FEMA, he also cancels debts paid by states to be in the club. States will control their own destiny and do it very much faster.

Screw you and if you're too lazy to research not my problem.

Screw you

Ah.
You know cannot support your claim.
Just as I expected.
Concession accepted.

Do they provide low cost loans or other funds to rebuild homes?

Nobody said they intend to quit giving out aid. Do not trust the so-called legacy media/MSM like NBC to report anything honestly or in its full context if they can turn it into propaganda for the TDS afflicted to feed on.

Here's a more balanced story on the concept:

A very good idea...It has been nothing but an ineffective money pit for its entire existence.

Spoken like someone who has never used FEMA services.

How does the fact someone has or has not used FEMA services have any bearing on the claim that FEMA has been an ineffective money pit for its entire existence?

They've already stopped sending out most assistance anyway.
