How FEMA was Destroyed

"Many are concerned that federal disaster assistance may have evolved into both an oversized entitlement program and a disincentive to effective state and local risk management. Expectations of when the government should be involved and the degree of involvement may have ballooned beyond what is an appropriate level."

Joe Allbaugh, former FEMA director, May 15, 2001

The Republican agenda is to turn the United States into a third-world shithole.
