1. Highly inefficient. Took a week to start helping victims of last hurricane. Then they issue a check when there is nowhere to spend it.
2. Misdirecting of funding. A billion of FEMA money goes to illegal Aliens in two years. Old Joe and friends should go to jail for that. I think they have a name for that.
3. A lot of red tape for people who are in a position where they don’t need a lot of red tape.
4. A whole lot of politics when helping people should be the priority.
5. Can anyone tell me of one person who was rescued by FEMA in any of the first 3 days after the hurricane blew through? Can anyone point to any infrastructure repaired by FEMA… to this day. Is there one gallon of water taken into North Carolina by one man carrying a FEMA I.D. in the first day, in the first three days. If someone knows of one electric generator taken in…. I think you get my point. We paid billions of dollars for FEMA and got absolutely nothing. Moreover, we will have to pay for it again. All the money we provided FEMA is long gone. And, Georgia, the Carolinas and eastern Tennessee still need a lot of help. I would suggest to them that they don’t wait to get it from FEMA.

It used to be that state militias took care of stuff like that… under the control of the governors. Most militias will already have the important stuff to help people: helicopters, heavy land equipment. The additional equipment needed could easily be added, medical, distribution and communication to name a few.

They already have stores of food and can store emergency water. Just a few heavy tractors can clear highways and roads quickly. Some of those in the state capitals care. In DC, not so much.

Finally, in really bad situations, states can share resources. They already come to the aid of each other for repair of grid systems.

Moreover, FEMA is not constitutional. It’s not the responsibility of the federal government to come to the aid of states. It’s what happens when the feds get involved in the stuff they shouldn’t. You want to improve public schools, get rid of the federal government out of them. That simple. That fast.

Perhaps my biggest complaint, distribution of funds is not equable. NY, NY gets hit by a hurricane and the victims get hundreds of thousands of dollars each. The Carolinas get hit by far more damage, and they get a few hundred dollars. Well some do get the checks. Even worse, the federal authorities stand in the way of civilians going in and helping.

If I were to lose my house, I would much rather not have any help than to have the federal government come in and say my neighbor down the street can’t help me get the tree off my house.

Well, I suppose we could keep FEMA. Just don’t let the dems control it. Make sure the dems don’t give the emergency funds to illegal aliens. Now does anyone have an idea how we do that?
