Brilliant! This should really go over with the Red states having to deal with hurricanes on their own. 

Fun Fact:

Florida, Louisiana, and Texas receive the most FEMA dollars: from 2015 to August 2024—Florida received $2.5 billion, Louisiana $2.4 billion, and Texas $2.3 billion.

Good. You all say how rich California is, they can deal with the fires on their own I guess.

I'd rather it be up to the states and when there is a massive disaster the government can give funds as needed.  Instead of sending it to Ukraine, send it to disaster relief.

I have heard very few positive experiences with FEMA in my life.

Yeah. Good luck selling that to the liberals. Nothing is more important to them than sending trillions to fund that war.

Hey dummy, Trump isn’t proposing to end federal disaster assistance. He’s proposing that we change the way we do it.  Because clearly the current system is broken, as evidenced by the fact that North Carolina is still light years behind where it should be at this point in the recovery effort.

Like most federal bureaucracies lately, FEMA is broken - awash in a sea of red tape and delays.  Rather than work through an incompetent federal agency, Trump wants to direct federal money directly to the states  The states have shown that they know what needs to be done and who needs to do it.  Give them the money and let them do their thing.  It makes perfect sense from an efficiency standpoint - something that big government Leftists know nothing about.

Good progressive thinking. 

FEMA has had way too many debacles handing federal money.  Give the money to the states and let the people who actually live there dole it out as needed.

FEMA IS ABSOLUTELY USELESS. 

The same clueless a-holes that work in the DMV. They have no clue what they're doing.

FEMA relief and aid to Ukraine are not mutually exclusive, there is certainly enough money to do both.

If you think Trump would take the funds intended for Ukraine and then use it for FEMA disaster relief, I got some ocean front property in Arizona I would like to sell you.
