How did FEMA run out of money? It hasn't even been a bad year for natural disasters, has it?

FEMA has been out of money since before the Maui fire last year. They had to beg the Fed to fund them, Biden tied the infusion of money to funding for Ukraine. When asked if he would consider splitting the FEMA funds off from the Ukraine funding to speed up recovery and relief efforts he simply and emphatically said, "No."

Maui fires.


And we gave 140 billion to Ukraine and 12 to fema.


Those democrats really care about Americans. And yes I believe fema asked for more and that was a no, Biden was trying to tie funding any of the stuff back home to Ukraine, like they did with border.

They were in bad shape before the Maui fire. The Biden Administration used the people who lost everything in that fire as hostages to get the Ukraine funding bill passed. The FEMA funding needed for Maui relief was tied to that bill. It is one of the shittiest things that garbage human Joe has done in his time as president.

“How can we not respond? My God. How can we not respond to these needs?” he said. “So I’m confident, even though there’s a lot of talk from some of our friends up on the Hill about the cost, we have to do it. This is the United States of America.”
-Joe Biden

The slimy cocksucker said that while asking for $24.1 billion more to send to Ukraine.

quote:

The White House sent a request for an additional $12 billion for disaster relief funding earlier this month, pairing it with requests for more security aid for Ukraine. Criswell called on Congress to pass that request to ensure emergency relief operations aren’t affected.

And Trump was impeached for telling Ukraine to kick rocks.

Why can't Republicans play hard ball. Democrats wield power while Republicans "reach across isle" and "govern from the middle."

Ukraine funding should have been tied to shutting down the border.

Over 176 Billion to Ukraine meanwhile some Louisiana schools still aren’t fixed from Laura and Ida in 2020 and 2021. Government doesn’t give a frick about you and I.

The federal government cancelled contract RFPs, swept budgets and stole anything not bolted down to ship money to Ukraine.
