Six Billion missing from Obama's State Department, and barely a peep from the lapdog media.

Both are under the Department of Homeland Security. Money is moved between agencies pretty regularly especially at the end of the fiscal year.

FEMA is an overall waste of money and the majority of their employees aren't the brightest. Seriously, it's a good idea and can be effective when utilized in the right way, but from what I've witnessed, there's a ridiculous amount of waste in their budget. I mean, who hear has ever dealt with them? If so, you know what I'm talking about. 

I know for a fact, portions of their budget go towards remapping flood zones. That can be privatized. Just an example.


Uh buddy, in essence flood mapping is privatized... It is primarily done by private firms. I have done a ton of it.

And the Biggert-Waters act allowed for privatization of flood insurance.

In the same way that private car insurance has state agencies that regulate it, FEMA acts as a standards agency for floodplain determination.

FEMA is also primarily funded through flood insurance premiums anyways. I totally disagree that it is a waste of taxpayer money. FEMA operates on a ridiculous shoe string budget relative to agencies like the DoD, FBI, US Army Corps.

And the reason some of those people are probably not the most qualified... They get paid peanuts compared to their peers in civil engineering.

Maybe because ICE is responsible for evacuating a bunch of illegal immigrants in South Texas to keep them safe from Harvey.

This is complete garbage.

That’s a wise reallocation of money. Our country has shown that we can quickly recover from even the most devastating hurricanes. Much more difficult to rebuild your lives when your kid is hooked on drugs that came from South of the border, or has been murdered or raped by an illegal alien. Once again, trump knows what he’s doing!

Private industry and volunteers. FEMA gets abused to shite and ten million is nothing. Guarantee you this will be the most MAGA hurricane response EVER.

Instead of your whattaboutisns, can you point out what we should be upset about with this? I’m not seeing the problem or why this nonstory is a story

Then the same could be said for anything that President Obama did... It is that a different situation because he's a Democrat?

That's too bad.

Now FEMA won't be able to build as many concentration camps...
