I find it hard to believe that states like Rhode Island, Delaware, & Connecticut -- to name just a few -- could scramble enough resources to provide relief to its citizens in the case of wide-spread catastrophe like Hurricane Sandy.
If those states can't manage themselves on their own -Article IV, Section 3 of the U.S. Constitution allows for a merger of two or more states, if the legislatures of those states approve - and Congress also approves of such a proposal.
Now we can add Flood Victims to the list of people the righties don`t like. Gays,minorities,teachers,low wage workers,pregnant teens,climatologists,etc. Now it`s victims of natural disasters. Sad.

Federal emergency management is not a constitutional federal power.
It's been around for 34 years. The U.S. had had a long, long history of providing financial relief to states before it became FEMA.

State of New England? Delmarva?
Guess each state could become its own country or we could eliminate states and all the red tape that goes along with it.

That doesn't negate the fact that it violates the 10th Amendment.
