The fact is that it was the States and localities that did all the work evacuating the people in danger areas. It was local policemen and local firefighters who saved people. The Federal Government saved no one and evacuated no one. The boob who wrote this editorial seems to think the National Guard are Federal. I guess it doesn’t take much education to get an editorial job with Scripps Howard News Service. The national guard are under the control of governors.
How would this disaster have been addressed if FEMA didn’t exist? No differently. FEMA has an annual budget of $11 billion. Why do we need them? There are 8,000 FEMA employees. Why?
The States and localities do all the work. Just give them the money and eliminate the bureaucratic middle man.

A lot of federal agencies need to be disband. FEMA is one, TSA is another. DEA and all those committees and sub-committees. Do we really need them?
The bigger the government, the harder the fall. And we WILL fall. Just a matter of time.
You people can't be this stupid. Maybe you've been fortunate enough not to be in a disaster. Or maybe you are just blinded by an ideaology often based on skewed information that conveniently fits into the story line.
Isnt it strange how people on the left have the correct answer to and for everything.They also find it necessary to attach a label such as stupid,racist,fill in the blank phobic,etc,for anyone who disagrees.Those of us ( the majority)who dont agree dont call you stupid.Your just wrong.

I found your post to be quite interesting but possibly innacurate.
As a regular visitor to this blog, I would have to say it would be those on the right who seem to lash out in name calling when things are said they don't agree with.
As soon as anyone disagrees with anything put out by the right, they're automatically labeled a "Liberal" or as Joe puts it "Wet Pants Liberal". There are times, it will be a Republican who is in disagreement with something from the right. Just saying.
I've pointed it out many times on this blog, as recent as yesterday.
There is NO need for name calling and bashing, I don't care which side of the aisle someone is on.
We should all be able to disagree without being mean about it.
