So which way to the screaming Bush Haters want it? Micro-management by Federal Agencies, or the need for individuals and individual cities to take individual responsibility?
Do we WANT FEMA to come in and micro-manage EVERY community along the Gulf Coast, and southern Atlantic coastline?
Do we WANT FEMA to come in and micro-manage EVERY community in what is known as Tornado Alley? | Hm...
What I want is for federal aid to be managed correctly, if we're going to have it. FEMA was totally mismanaged. For god's sake, Bush put the former head of the Arabian Horse Association in charge.
I'm not sure whether federal management of disasters or local management of disasters is better. I am sure that the system we have now is crappy. | Agreed.
But if people expect FEMA to do what was necessary in New Orleans, they have to realize that it would be nothing short of a Federal Agency micro-managing state and local leadership and individuals.
Is that what you want?
For me, no. I'll take care of myself, thank you. |
