Reagan Posted January 24 Report Posted January 24 President Trump said FEMA failed North Carolina. He also said in the past, FEMA failed Louisiana and Texas. He stated that Governors of each State can deal with their disasters better than an outside entity. Money can then be sent directly to the State. But, what happens when you have bad and unreliable Governors like in California. There's no doubt that there will be strings attached to make sure they are actually using the money wisely.

thetragichippy Posted January 25 Report Posted January 25 If the folks with TDS would actually listen to what Trump said, they may agree with this suggestion. I don’t see why sending money directly to the states and bypassing all the red tape would be a bad thing. All that money paid to fema employees for salary, food, lodging, etc, could be given to the states. LumRaiderFan 1 Quote

There are lots of federal programs that could be eliminated and allow the states to handle it, this is one of them. There is no need for the federal government to be the middleman in everything. Looking forward to the DOGE pointing them out. thetragichippy 1 Quote

Economy of scale is a real thing. FEMA needs some retooling. My bet is the states would prefer to not have that responsibility. The governors won’t have the Federal Government to blame when their state by state policies mess disaster victims up. Not politically expedient. thetragichippy 1 Quote

Yes, it is, especially in the blue states where incoming emergency funds have a way of disappearing or at the least, being mishandled. Remember, FEMA was only concerned about Biden supporters in NC. I have dealt with FEMA before and they’re a joke. Only the badly governed states would falter. How will we know until we try? Quote

Communist Newsom has some dandy fuel prices for you. I never have heard you brag on anything, so who is the whiner again? Quote

I’ll change my term from brag to saying something positive. You youngsters are impatient and need guidance. I figured since you don’t like Abbot, you’d prefer Newsom…..quite the contrast. I may be older but I can hold my own. Quote
