If disaster response is a “regional” issue, why does every state go running for federal funding for every fire, flood or hurricane? It’s because we support each other when in need, it’s called being a community/country.
Military and police are exactly what the gov is supposed to be doings.
They go for federal money because it’s not money they have to use of their own. I am more than happy to shut down fema and make it a regional issue. I live In Florida, we have hurricanes and no one should have to pay for cleanup except those of us who choose to live here in this risk. Some poor guy from Kentucky shouldn’t have to cover us.
We can still support each other with compassion. There are many groups who do relief efforts that accept donations. This doesn’t need to be a federal government issue.
