America Last: After Spending $640 Million On Migrants And Billions Abroad, FEMA Suddenly 'Broke'

[Oddball]

$640 million from a dedicated fund that was mandated by Congress.

No money from the Emergency Disaster Relief Fund went for that

Stop lying

"Mandated" on a ridiculous foreign war, at the expense of the Americans desperately in need of help.

There are no words to describe how utterly contemptible you shitlib scumbags are.

The Biden-Harris administration's 'America Last' policies have left the country vulnerable. Between draining the strategic petroleum reserve, sending hundreds of billions in cash and equipment to Ukraine (such as electrical transformers that are now needed for Hurricane Helene), and FEMA spending $640 million to help migrants, the agency tasked with emergency preparedness is now 'broke,' and doesn't have enough money to get through hurricane season which typically lasts through November.
According to AP,

The agency is being stretched as it works with states to assess damage from Hurricane Helene and delivers meals, water, generators and other critical supplies. The storm struck Florida last week, then plowed through several states in the Southeast, flooding towns and killing more than 160 people. ​

Mayorkas was not specific about how much additional money the agency may need, but his remarks on Air Force One underscored concerns voiced by President Joe Biden and some lawmakers earlier this week that Congress may need to pass a supplemental spending bill this fall to help states with recovery efforts.​

"We are meeting the immediate needs with the money that we have. We are expecting another hurricane hitting," said Mayorkas, adding "FEMA does not have the funds to make it through the season.

Commentary:
There's a cry being shouted by the victims of Hurricane Helene in Florida, Georgia, North Carolina, & Tennessee for basic necessities like water, food, blankets and shelter.
It's totally unconscionable that the Biden Administration, and his fellow Neo-Marxist travelers and their weaponzied agencies refuse to assist the victims of Hurricane Helene..
It appears that Emergency management and disaster relief are no longer the primary job of FEMA. EQUITY has become their primary job.
White Americans are not included any longer in the efforts of FEMA...
Four years ago Joey BaiDung promised $1500 checks as part of his election snake oil sale.
Today the offer is $750 to those white folks in Appalachia that have been wiped out by Hurricane Helene.
Some may say that it is incompetence on the part of this administration, while others have concluded that it is premeditated measured evil.

And they just sent another $60 million to New York State behind the president's back. I wonder how the people in North Carolina feel about that?

Actuall reality is that anytime natural disaster happens Federal government provides relief funds through FEMA.

Sorry to bust your little bullshit bubble.

 

[MayorQuimby]

if Trumps team is competent, they will be creating ads about this. Make them aware, it isn;t to politicize the tragedy, it is to call out the mismanagement of funds.

You think Republicans don't mismanage taxpayer money? You think Trump doesn't? They do, but they just pretend to care about Americans more than the Dems so as to give their voters an illusion and to keep them voting.

The only reason I would vote Republican is so that Dems would lose. I have zero faith in both.

 

[MayorQuimby]

Because you say-so? Please.

No; because Americans want it so.

I don't understand why one red cent has to be sent to Ukraine, regardless of whether there is a disaster domestically. American tax money should be spent on Americans, period.

 

[AntonToo]

No; because Americans want it so.

Well thats total bullshit. Providing Millitary aid to Ukraine has been a lot more popular than not providing it.

Because russian aggression is bad for America

Why should American tax money be spent on anything other than Americans?

because Americans want it so.

Only some of them. Others don't.

A rationale like that can be used in multiple other ways so as to justify spending huge amounts of tax money on foreign nations.

We are not talking about other places

The topic is Ukraine

We ate not talking about other places

I am not talking about other places. I am telling you that the rationale that you use to justify money to Ukraine is dangerous, because it would open a floodgate.

In that case dont use it for other places

So you would have been against the Marshall Plan...

BS spin.

Most of Americans support millitary aid to Ukraine, not "some".

 

[MayorQuimby]

BS.

Except it's not a democracy.

Tax money should only be spent on a country's citizens. This is a principle that should not be voted on as if it were an election.

If you want to donate money to Ukraine that badly, take it out of your own pocket. Don't hijack the tax money.
