Stormy Past-Dragging

In the scheme of things, it is very disturbing that Mitt "Lipsmacker" Romney is in favor of deep cuts to FEMA. If we take him for his recorded words, does that mean any possible future natural disasters will receive the same shameful lack of attention as Bush gave to New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina's devastating sweep?

Should we leave inadequate and vastly underfunded relief efforts to individual states so they can continue to ignore people just as they do in bipartisan wealth-horde denial and fantasy "trickle down" job creation? It doesn't happen, because Republicans rarely step-up to the plate even in support of their fellow citizens in dire straits unless such actions benefit them politically.

In plainer right-wing terms, if you are a minority or poor just suffer and die. If you are white and rich or semi-affluent, we'll be there to rescue you tout de suite.

Thank God President Obama modified FEMA and how it operates and responds, especially now when more than 60 million Americans need it most for the aftermath of Sandy.
