So, their way of saying, help yourselves.
As they always do !
The Fed.Govt. should STOP illegal imigration and save the money for tax paying Americans that have earned it.
I lost everything during Irma FEMA did not give me a penny they gave over $80,000 to two of my neighbors that had minor damage
Damn sorry to hear that sucks
Sorry to hear that. I know in my case it was an issue with paperwork. They just wanted more information. Of course it’s difficult to fill out all that paperwork when you’re just in need of help. However, I understood that they needed the data so that people wouldn’t cheat them so that people wouldn’t lie so that they could properly record who was getting the money what the money was being spent on etc etc.
@@jermelpurse3018 that was part of it everything got destroyed I had no phone or computer I had to climb from a boat to the Edison bridge to get out of danger
Of course it did ... allotted to Isreal and Ukraine Disaster
That’s a misconception. Wow FEMA does have a sub program that provided some funding to help Israel. It’s nowhere near the budget. FEMA was given not even close not even 5% of the budget FEMA was given.
Instead, I think you should examine the number of natural disasters we have had this year in America. Compare that with previous years compare that with previous decades. You will see we are having more natural disasters now than we did in the past. Next take a moment to compare how much it cost for someone to recover from a natural disaster today and how much it might have cost in the past. It cost way more money now. Look at the cost of building supplies alone. In the past 30 years, the cost of building supplies has gone up significantly yet the budget for FEMA has not.
Facts
Sure, it wasn’t Congress fighting on what to fund, republicans demanding cuts, ranting about FEMA checks and aid being misused and used too much in low income disaster sites.
I bet the CEO Got a paycheck
Yes and So did every Illegal who came across that Southern Border ! Thanks to Biden and Harris !
It did the same thing last year...I want an accounting of the funds..I want to know exactly where the money is going!! Americans come first!!
FEMA is very irresponsible for not helping people through the Helene hurricane! Where do these poor people go for help. Bring Congress in immediately to resolve this.
How CONVENIENT. FEMA waves hand please pass more bill to place the color of money to them. Of course i am OUT OF MONEY!! 🤑
Thanks to Harris and Biden ! Your money went to Illegals !
What happens to those of us who have paid for flood insurance over the years?
How? It’s insane.
Seems like that money for Ukraine and other government investments could go to this right??? I'm continually flabbergasted by the lack of thought we're all having at allowing this in the first place.. common sense that says there should be no divisions... Enough with government overspending and allocating to needs other than its own country
Ask the current administration to switch illegal immigrants funds to the federal disaster funds!
Have they gone home?
Nothing to do...
Dont have them collecting pay checks if you have no money to do the job.
They only have not enough to not afford to fix things. They don't have not enough to not pay themselves.
This is for all the homeowners, landowners and parents to figure out
You mean the Illegal homeowners ?
Interesting
Act accordingly
how many office people are still getting paid????
No layoffs I'm suspecting. They will stop paying to help but not stop paying saleries.
At this point what is priority the cause or the affect of continuous effects… like areas nicknamed “regions” where drugs are literally handed out to anyone who cares to want to inject themselves with the unknown.
My God 😮
Let's not tell anyone
Just consider we’ve had more natural disasters than usual this year in America and it cost more money than ever to rebuild after you are hit by a natural disaster.
Look at Florida recently flood insurance doesn’t cover all that damage. Look at the tornado hit Sunbelt region of America. When your house is completely blown apart, it cost a significant amount of money to rebuild more than it used to just a few decades ago it might cost more money than to rebuild. Budget has not gone significantly in the past few decades so they have fewer dollars to give away and more people than ever in need of them
Excuses, Excuses, Excuses
with tens of billions going overseas, toward charging stations and rural internet (where'd the money go?), and providing housing and money to illegals, no wonder there's nothing left. We need a Constitutional Amendment limiting government spending.
I thought people didn’t like socialism
No, people love socialism until they run out of other people's money 🤫
Ah yes because using tax dollars for disaster relief is totally the same as government control of all industry. Nice logic.
Imagine thinking using tax dollars for disaster relief is the same as government control of all industry. Educate yourself
I just don’t make the mistake of thinking socialism would be better. You said it yourself the government should educate themselves. Imagine the same uneducated individuals making decisions without leveraging economic incentive due to human nature inherently being selfish; in complete control of all industry. Worse off
They are hiring....
And they're not offering much for pay and expect you to travel beyond your region with no comp for travel...
Israel where my money it 😢😢😢😢
How odd that we always seem to find a way to fund Ukraine and Isreal. I guess there is just no money left for Americans. Maybe if we go to war with our neighbors we will be able to benifit just once from out taxes they militantly make sure we pay! Ask not what your country can do for you because the greedy self serving polititions will never do anything unless it’s for their own benifit. RFK Jr. hes my last hope
But got money to sponsor wars and send billions in aid
😮👌🏽✍🏼🙏🏼
Democrats motto- America Last
Project 2025 proposes leaving disasters to the states, so Republicans are even worse.
