re: For Those Blaming Lack of FEMA Funds on Ukraine, A Reminder of How U.S. Fiscal Law Works

I believe we should do everything we can to support those in NC and GA. We can rely on NG training funds, and probably do some creative legal wrangling to make other appropriations viable.
My point is you can't easily take the Ukraine funds and divert it to FEMA.
My understanding is FEMA interpreted U.S. fiscal law to allow them to give existing relief money to immigrants. How they did that, I don't know because I don't have all the facts.

A long, rambling response to defend something that doesn't pass the logic test and only confirms what people are pissed about.
I help you sum it up for us plebiscite.
"Everything you are seeing, the money being spent on, for example illegal aliens, overseas wars, pet projects, and not for the good of Americans, is systemic."
You are correct, which is why so many people want Trump to change everything about the system except the constitution that protects our rights.

For Those Blaming Lack of FEMA Funds on Ukraine, A Reminder of How U.S. Fiscal Law Works

It’s the first couple days of the fiscal year, how did FEMA go broke, what about the next hurricane or fire in California? We just found 2.4 Billion for Ukraine, but the Southeast is “ fend for yourselves “

America needs to be strong itself. We are so busy funding and intaking everyone else, we are falling. No working productive American should be without a home and other necessities. They may not be reallocating funds, but they can allocating and put America first. Immigration support and welfare should be zero. Unless it’s for the welfare of all Americans.

This is from aug 2023, same problems we are facing now. They refused to fund fema at the beginning of last year. They were asking for just under $12 billion. Joe gave them $12 million.
If you still support this you can get fricked. Seriously.

When the U.S. Senate reconvenes next week, U.S. Sen. Rick Scott says he’ll introduce legislation to ensure that disaster relief dollars are fully funded to help pay for damage from Hurricane Idalia — and not be linked to military funding for Ukraine.
The proposed linking of funds for Ukraine with disaster relief has angered Scott along with his GOP Senate colleague Marco Rubio.
“We’ve had enough with Washington playing politics and demand that Congress does what’s right for American families, starting with ensuring our federal government has all the resources it needs to show up after disasters, now and in the future,“ Scott said in a press release issued Tuesday.
Rubio expressed similar sentiments when talking with Fox News on Wednesday.
“No matter what you think about Ukraine funding, those things should never be one for the other,” he said. “When it comes to taking care of Americans that have been harmed, that should be the priority. I hope the White House backs off of that position.”
FEMA has projected at least a $4 billion deficit with the disaster relief fund. The Biden administration in August proposed a supplemental package to Congress, including $12 million for disaster relief to pay for recent natural disasters like the fire in Maui and now the aftermath of Hurricane Idalia. But in the same spending package, the president sought more than $24 billion in additional funding for Ukraine’s military needs in their battle against Russia.
While Democrats have consistently supported funding the military effort in Ukraine, the GOP has seen more fissures in their ranks.
In May, 11 Republicans in the U.S. Senate opposed Ukraine funding, and last month, 70 House Republicans voted in favor of an amendment to the annual defense bill that would have cut off all U.S. military aid to Ukraine.
If you still support this you can get fricked. Seriously.

This has nothing to do with supporting Ukraine.
It shows us where their priorities are. The amount congress allocate in all forms to provoking wars and causing unrest all over the globe is disgusting.
We're paying the pensions of Ukrainians while pensioners are living on the streets in the USA.

Ukraine had nothing to do with our security. In fact, our meddling in Ukraine has led to nothing but insecurity for us and Europe.

Your first mistake was trying to explain how government works to this board. These are the same people who think J6 was a peaceful protest and an inside job.

Everyone understands that our leader’s priorities are out of wack. Ukraine, Israel, and illegal immigrants should not have priority over our own hurting citizens. You can frame it however you want, but it pisses people off.

If that's how "government works," it's a total failure.

. In other words, whether we are funding Ukraine or not, the problem is Congress didn't appropriate enough to FEMA in the last budget.
K...smart guy...If they did not appropriate enough for FEMA this year..and hurricane and tornado seasons were nothing burgers and did not tax the current FEMA budget til Helene, what exactly did they use the extra money they didn't appropriate properly to FEMA for?
