Video from Harris admin Press Secretary from 2022 proves Harris admin is lying about no FEMA money going to illegals

If Republicans had successfully ended funding for these SSP and EFSP-H, FEMA would still struggle to make it through hurricane season.

Cancelling those programs doesn’t add to disaster relief funds. FEMA would still be short on cash.

This statement makes little sense and doesn’t address the issue whatsoever.

Your comment is intended to sidestep the core issue. Funding for FEMA comes from taxpayer dollars. When that pool of dollars is cut by funding for illegal alien welfare, other programs are denied funding.

No, that’s not how it works at all. The government spends whatever it decides to spend. It doesn’t have to cut one thing to fund another.

This isn’t a core issue. It’s your misunderstanding of how it works.

 

[Hollie]

It comes from congressional appropriations.

Do you think Biden can move money appropriated for one thing and do something else with it?

Where does the money for congressional appropriations come from?

When taxpayer money gores to illegal aliens, there is less for US citizens?

Did you not know that the government spends taxpayer money?

 

[Hollie]

No, that’s not how it works at all. The government spends whatever it decides to spend. It doesn’t have to cut one thing to fund another.

You don’t understand that the government has only taxpayer money to spend. Other than the Fed printing money which dilutes the value of currency, thus inflation, the government doesn’t spend whatever it decides to spend.

You don’t know the first thing bout Econ 101.

Not really. Congress could have easily funded FEMA adequately for disasters without having to cut anything else. It wouldn’t change tax burdens, it would just add to the deficit.

I don’t think you’re getting the issue here.

You never heard of a T bills? That’s some pretty basic stuff you’re forgetting.

Nonsense. Your silly, “because I say so” comments are ridiculous.

You don’t understand that taxpayer dollars fund all government spending.

What does the government do to earn the money it spends?

 

[Hollie]

You never heard of a T bills? That’s some pretty basic stuff you’re forgetting.

You don’t understand what T-bills are. You’re missing a basic ununderstanding of Econ 101.

Obviously, you don’t understand the basic concept of the government spending more than what is taken in via taxpayer dollars.

I do. It’s a bond issued by the government.

Clearly the government can spend more than it can collect in taxes.

“ A bond issued by the government”. As’plain what a bond is.

That will put you on a google search for something you can cut and paste.

In the meantime, why is the IG contradicting the statement of Biden and his stooge, Mayorkas, when they claim FEMA is out of money?

Mayorkas says FEMA has no more disaster funds, but IG report says agency is sitting on billions

Homeland Security Secretary Mayorkas says FEMA has no more disaster funds, but a report from the department IG says the agency has billions in untapped funds it could use for relief

A bond is basically a loan. We’ve been using them to fund government for a very long time.

From your own article:
But analysts say FEMA cannot tap unspent appropriations from long-ago crises, so the money sits frozen as 600 people are reportedly still missing from Hurricane Helene, at least 220 died, and entire towns were wiped off the map. Helene is the most catastrophic hurricane to hit the U.S. since Katrina in 2005.

You are obviously unaware that a loan typically has a source of funding.

What entity is the source of government money?

Surprise- it’s the taxpayers. You keep driving around in a Cul de Sac of befuddlement and you can’t find your way out.

So, we’re on the horns of a dilemma. Either Biden and his stooge Mayorkas are incorrect or the IG is.


From the linked article,

Budget experts warn that this new firestorm shows that FEMA has been turned into a slush fund that the agency and the Biden-Harris White House can spend at will.

An August 2024 report from Homeland Security’s Office of Inspector General noted, "As of October 2022, FEMA estimated that 847 disaster declarations with approximately $73 billion in unliquidated funds remained open." The report also says "$8.3 billion in unliquidated obligations" was "for disasters declared in 2012 or earlier" that analysts say could be returned to help people battling for survival in disasters now.

The loan’s funding is whoever buys the T bill. They’re placed on the open market. You can buy them. Corporations can buy them. Foreigners can buy them.

But no one is making you.

You should also know that T-bills are debt issued by the US government. What entity is ultimately responsible for the debt?

Taxpayers, of course.

Maybe. Or it just keeps rolling forward.

The point here is that the government is not limited to spend only what it takes in by taxes.

Appropriating money in one place does not reduce their ability to appropriate money somewhere else.

You’re missing the point that taxpayer money is primarily the “income” seen by the government.

Why do you think the US budget is in a deficit of approx $35 trillion dollars. It’s because use the government spends more than it receives in taxes.

Identify the value of money appropriated by the government. Where does it come from?
