Affluent Boulder gets FEMA money, poor Yarnell doesn't

[BullKurtz]

Given the size of the flood devastation in Boulder, Colorado, I have no problem with FEMA assisting them. However, VP Biden PROMISED (lied to) the citizens of Yarnell, Arizona that they would get assistance and then reneged. The scope of the fire damage to Yarnell was as extensive on a scale relative to the size of the area as the Boulder city and foothills communities....one is recently a Barry state, the other a Brewer state.

Every conceivable aspect of the federal government is now a matter of political payback. The message is clear, either vote socialist or swing in the wind for the next 3 years. Barry loves being president...you can tell by the fact he continues to remind everybody within earshot of him all day every day.

Nice to know I'm not the only one to notice. Just goes to show ya, with Commisar Barack its always a better move for a state governor to bend over and expose your unprotected rectum when around Comrade Barack than to stand on the tarmac and wave your finger in his face. Graci.

Toujours le 'Chicago Way', toujours.

Of course the fact that people generally have fire insurance and not flood insurance (unless they live somewhere that regularly floods) had nothing to do with it.

Move along, nothing here.

Frances Lechner, spokeswoman for the Yarnell Hill Recovery Group, has said the group has identified nine people whose primary residences were uninsured. Three of these were manufactured homes. The group, which is raising money to address the unmet needs of residents and businesses, is working to develop guidelines for the funds to help those people rebuild.

The disaster request also sought federal aid for hazard mitigation and a Burned Area Emergency Response program, which would have brought experts and other resources to alleviate potential post-fire flooding and other environmental problems

Arizona has received six federal disaster declarations since 2005, five for public assistance and hazard mitigation after winter storms or monsoon storms and one for flooding after the 2010 Schultz Fire near Flagstaff. Federal officials denied the state’s two requests for individual assistance for winter storm damage.

Really? Maybe if you looked at a map of the Yarnell area you'd see that it's directly under much higher terrain, the ground-cover is gone, and there's already been flooding there. Most of the homes in the Boulder area are also insured and the per-capita income of Boulder area residents is significantly higher than those in Yarnell. As if destroyed homes are the only issue here... So maybe you should "move along" ya fucking idiot.
