Axe FEMA, Romney Says — as Sandy Looms

First off, in general, stop lying and making stuff up, it makes a person look stupid and ignorant.

You spend a disproportionate amount of money via MIC, everyone knows this and the US right seems to have the opinion that the US should not protect EUrope. So cut your overseas military and save ooodles of cash. Or, keep on spending, so that us Euro's and Israeli's can have UHC and proper schools. (Thanks BTW)

The rich are far richer than at any poiint in history and historically speaking the US's period's of best growth have coincided with the periods of highest taxation.

You need to cut spending and increase revenue, it's that simple. As far as "benefits" are concerned, make people work for the money and see if this helps them to get back into proper work.

Cut oil tax cuts, cut farming tax rebates, cut all corporate wealth redistribution.

Mac, regardless of what you think, I am a centralist, it cuts both ways. It is you on the other hand believe it only cuts one way.

So stop playing your silly little game, I do not believe that your post is an actual representation of your intellect - because the poist makes you look stupid and I am sure you are not. Your post does however, make you look childish.

 

Only on the already far-left scale that exists overseas.

By American standards you are a barking-at-the-moon liberal.

I support cutting the defense budget because we can't balance the budget without spending cuts everywhere.

But as a Euro who dreams of a toothless America be careful what you wish for.

As we remove over protective shield over the world some other power will fill the vacuum.

And I will bet you that the new policemen will be far worse than we are.

But I don't care what happens to you or your country after we are gone.

As an American I'm tired of carrying the rest of the world on my back.

 

I've had enough of your childish, simplistic, ignorant posts, lies lies lies lies - that is all you are capable of.

"Are you sure you want to add Mac-7 to your ignore list?"

Yes, I am sure.

 

Perhaps not, but it still stands to reason than one agency doing a job is much more efficient than 51.

 

Worse and worse? Actually the last ten years have not been at all that bad. You see one huge storm and then it is "Oh hell there is your proof of global warming"

Living in NC I can tell you that it is not what it used to be. This year has been wet but over the last ten we have had nothing but drought (SP?). In the south east these storms are our life blood. No we don't like it it when they slam us but it was always a sure thing that we would keep the crops wet from the rain bands. Every storm does not make landfall (most don't as a hurricane) but they give us great rains.

So in the past 30+ years we have had a few hard ones that seemed a curse but we count all the others as blessings.

 

I didn't mention global warming!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Jesus, you lads can't freaking read!

 

This one?

 

nor nearly as inconvenient as the sequester bill OBAMA SIGNED INTO LAW WHICH CUTS 900 MILLION FROM FEMA

http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs...ses-nearly-900-million-if-sequester-cuts-hit/

sequestration is just another example of Obama's failure as a leader. GW Bush worked with Democrats for bipartisan bills, Bill Clinton worked with congress for bi partisan bills, as did Bush Sr and Reagan. Obama could not lead a group of girl scouts through a cookie factory and managed to do nothing but create gridlock. That is why we need Romney to be elected, he is a man who as Governor came to agreements and managed to get legislation passed with a State legislature that was over 80% Democrat

 

Since it was our idea it takes a bigger person than any lib I'm aware of to admit we were wrong.

ObamaCare is a terrible idea that needs to be repealed.

 

You think? I think automatic cuts when Congress stalls is a good thing. It provides inspiration, and if they do not get inspired, it reduces spending.

 

No you did not but I deduced from you post that you considered it a root cause as you mentioned that they get worse and worse. The fact is they have not been getting worse.

The fact is the impact from lesser storms costs more money these days and populations in hurricane prone areas is growing.

Anyhow if you were not using global warming as a base for you claim what were you using? Oh the Louisiana hurricane? You know that was bound to happen. Hell it is a swamp.

The lower frequency of storms in the past few years leads the media to cover each one in more detail and they sensationalize everything for ratings.

I am in no way saying that the storms are not bad I am saying the media will play every one up all they can for ratings.

 

not to mention that it destroys the American economy totally , so it is a win win situation for you progressives isn't it. the Marxists can dance on Americas grave ...whoopee time and champagne for all the democrats

 

Oh, you "deduced" did you? AKA "made it up" - well done!

The point is that removing the agency which helps AMERICANS during your significant annual hurricanes is insanity. Only the notion to privatise this function (making its primary function to make money, well actually increased profits per annum) is worse.

 

Please leave me out of that sort of nonsense.

 

FEMA as it is is inefficient and not that effective.

It is bloated and lacks necessary oversight. I have seen them at work and I can tell you these things for a fact.

Sorry this site is screwy today so I edited.

Also yes I deduced and at this point I would say I am was correct as you did not provide any information about storms getting worse or more frequent as it pertains to the US.

 

Then fix it! Throwing the baby out with the bath water is a childish and frankly retarded way to proceed.

 

What do you know about Romneys intentions? Have you seen his proposals that he would try to follow up on if elected?

FEMA and Homeland Security are wastes of money as they are and though redundancy is not a bad thing you don't share some things.

 

When we had a bad fire near Bastrop, Texas FEMA gave my brother the retail value of five old cars that were rusting into the ground around his 25 year old trailer house out in the woods.

In Louisiana hundreds of relief trailer homes rotted before they could find people to put in them. Let's remember that FEMA is run by federal employees who don't care what their actions cost and many of them use their positions to make themselves rich.

The shame is that when a FEMA person hires people willing to kick back to them the person hired takes the money and doesn't have to do a good job for the money. Can't refuse to pay a person that is kicking back part of the money.

Please explain with a great detail so that we understand??

 

From the OP's link:

The Romney campaign said early Monday morning that Romney stood behind a statement first made during a 2011 Republican debate, in which Romney said that the Federal Emergency Management Agency should be disbanded, and its powers either privatized or given to the states.

<<<PA removed>>>

The federal government managing anything is a waste.

 

Unfortunately for big government libs Big Sandy turned out to be rather disappointing.

They were hoping for a giant storm with historic damage but it didn't turn out that way.

What a joke.

 

Do you live in the area the storm hit?

 

I was watching the aftermath on MSNBC this morning.

The reporter was standing in front of a motel called The White Sands telling us that there was sand washed up all over the streets.

Oh boohoo.

 

Easy for you to talk. Millions without power and some pretty bad flooding in some areas is pretty historic. Some people....

 

I know what Mitt said, WHICH IS THE ENTIRE POINT OF THIS THREAD!

Of course, if you don't want ot discuss Mitts thoughts on FMEA, you coud always post on another thread. Which might seem bleeding obvious to most people, but the logic seems to have passed you by.
