Guess if your entire town is flattened and 160 folks killed your on your own. Gotta get those elevators working in NY.
Now it's up to congress.
"Josephson says it'll be up to Congress to restore full funding to disaster areas including parts of Alabama, Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi, North Carolina and Tennessee."
This is why they need to keep most of the money in the state and stop funding the federal governmnet for these programs like FEMA. PA has PEMA why can't each state have its own funding and plan.
How will everybody be able to play the victim if there's no FEMA to plunder? What will all those contractors do who follow storms around, get a downpayment on work then run off? They need jobs too.
FEMA has limited funds. The Irene damage is going to be costly. And it's not just something in NYC. Vermont was hammered, towns cut off entirely, highways gone, etc. Vermont's state equivalent of FEMA was wiped out by the flooding, in fact.
Its more a case of liittle money and basci needs tot eh most people really.But its in the end goign to depend on cuts in other areas of spendig to go into funding FEMA with more money.Having been fro a Rita area most goes to bascci infrastructure ans anyone thinking individual because of no insurance has a long;long wait at best to get any help.But then this alos ups your risk to insure meaning higher insurance cost in future;especailly flood.

Fema should be abolished.
Maybe the United in United States should be abolished. Every state can afford to stand alone when a disaster hits? Maybe when that happens we force the state that needs government help and aid to secede.
I wonder if Japan felt that way after the nuclear disaster. As long as it was not close to a particular city or province, to hell with the ones that were closest...after all they all shared in utilizing the nuclear energy produced.
