Biden approves $567 million in aid to Taiwan

There are lies, then there are fucking lies.

President Joe Biden has signed a bill funding the government for another three months, ensuring federal agencies are funded through Dec. 20. One thing that did not make it in that bill was additional money for the Federal Emergency Management Agency, which had requested it for disaster aid.

The agency says it has what it needs to respond to Hurricane Helene which headed into Georgia overnight as a now Category 1 storm. However, the funding shortfall is likely to show up in communities struggling to recover from past disasters.

When paying for the rising costs of natural disasters, American tax dollars aren’t just paying for the immediate response.

“We’re also paying for the short and long-term recovery, and those things are oftentimes much higher than the actual initial response,” said Nora O’Brien, CEO of Connect Consulting Services, which helps businesses plan for natural disasters and other emergencies.

Floridians should know, the New Republican led House is squarely to blame for any lack of funding for hurricane disaster aid.

FEMA will have enough for immediate emergency response, but the latest government funding bill didn't include additional funding to help communities struggling from past disasters.

Where will the money come from

Sales of US Treasury Notes. Where do you think it comes from?

We need a balanced budget amendment because the politicians on both sides of the isle will never get that done. We also need a plan to reduce the enormous debt the politicians on both sides of the isle have amassed.

Come on. Take the budget and balance it. We will see where the money really goes quickly. We then target those first with the corruption, graft, stealing and pay offs.
