Tax and Spend

FEMA failed during Sandy too.

"But if you think FEMA's inability to provide rapid relief subverts the core reason for its existence, think again. A few days after the Times' valentine, FEMA head W. Craig Fugate told the newspaper that the agency's rapid response role is really a fallacy. "The general public assumes we are part of the response team that will be there the first couple of days," he said. But it is really designed to deal with disasters several days after the fact.How does FEMA do that? By indiscriminately writing checks -- a task at which it evidently excels."
