Trump says FEMA to be wound down after hurricane season

[SassyIrishLass]

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

You need to cite your claim. That's debate 101

 

[Crepitus]

I guess one can look at the silver lining in that Trump actually knows there is a hurricane season.

true...

 

[JLW]

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?

If you have used FEMA services, you would know the good they do and just how effective they are.

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:

Trump announces plans to ‘wean off’ FEMA after 2025 hurricane season

“We want to wean off of FEMA, and we want to bring it down to the state level,” Trump told reporters in the White House Tuesday, months after he signed an executive order for a “full-scale re…

From your article:
Trump suggested that in the future, less disaster aid for any recovery efforts would be provided by the federal government — but if sought, would come directly from the president’s office.

 

[Crepitus]

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

The literally millions of people who have gotten aide over the decades, many if not most in red states, would disagree with you.

 

[percysunshine]

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

Anyone can spend tax dollars. These are the guys who would actually build homes. FEMA just wastes money on ineffective and inefficient programs.

Less and only if you suck-up to tRump first.

Nonsense.
FEMA could have been absolutely wonderful in your experience, and still be an ineffective money pit for its entire existence.

Hates the truth

The Cajun navy builds homes?

 

[Missourian]

I'm thinking there are likely millions that have been helped that would disagree.

Been through THREE major hurricanes, Charlie, Ian and Milton.

Saw FEMA once. One time.

The folks that tarped the roof were the 7th Day Adventists. The group handing out food was the Catholic Church. The Baptists came around and helped clean up debris and the State of Florida and the county coordinated trucking the debris away.

FEMA was useless.

FEMA fckd themselves with North Carolina. Totally useless

 

[rightwinger]

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.

Not any more thanks to Fat Donnie

North Carolina Continues to Receive Historically High Emergency Assistance Under President Trump

In light of false reporting and charges from politicians, FEMA is setting the record straight. North Carolina received one of the longest 100% cost share periods in FEMA’s history — 6 full months of full federal funding for debris removal and emergency protective measures.

Dude I know people in NC. Sit the fck down and shut the fck up

Mostly they pose for pictures.

oh….the old, “I know a guy” response

Today, the state is still receiving a 90% cost share. Due to the severity of the disaster with Hurricane Helene, exacerbated by the previous administrations’ mismanagement and neglect, FEMA is currently providing North Carolina a 90% federal cost share, far exceeding the normal 75% and the same amount the state of North Carolina requested on December 6, 2024.

Failure of leadership.
Wait - who was in office hen?

If FEMA was an "ineffective money pit for its entire existence" it would have been disbanded long ago. Not that it is perfect, especially when incompetents are appointed to head it, like Michael Brown, but it has done a good job in responding to disasters.

You CLEARLY do not understand how the federal government works.

 

[Twisted Gypsy Child]

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.

What part of the "United States" do you hate? We are all in this together. Do it much better?
Here is NC, just a few days ago.
