FEMA Fund Drained

Did you guys even look at that list?
It starts with the VA.

Nope. Didn't read, don't care. Shut it all down, start from scratch.

So.. no more US armed forces, no VA, no SocSecurity, no federal prisons...
Sure. Good luck with that.

We have to start somewhere. The beast is too top heavy. If we don't start dismantling parts of it, someday it will just fall down..

Y’all can relax knowing that all of our “allies” are sending people, money, and supplies over to help out. Oh, wait, no they aren’t.

Actually, there are a number of sources of foreign government aid and foreign private aid going to the victims of the hurricane.

Powerless?

It looks like the damage wreaked by Hurricane Helene is going to last a whole lot longer than people might wish. The electrical grid in ...

Bottom line? It's going to take years, not months, to recover.

It’s unlikely.

During the icepocolypse Oncor had a major shortage of replacement transformers.

Damaged transformers were strapped to pallets, hauled to Lancaster, repaired, and sent back out. They’re now powering homes again. I’m sure the same will happen there. Any other shortfalls will be dealt with by importing equipment.

Regardless, it will still take a while to get everything fixed. Trying to work in these areas after major storms is always a shit show and it takes a lot to get it done without anyone getting killed. Lots of competing agendas.

Which, of these agencies, would you dissolve?
A shorter ask is, which, if any, would you keep?

Note: this is just the salaries, not the agency's full budget.

That's a Huge list of mostly wasted organizations and money.

Yes, it is. Many duplications (overlapping) also.

And what's your solution?

Short answer.
Abolish all.
Keep none.

Again a desired outcome. Not a description of a path forward. Y'all have a location you'd like to end up without a travel plan.

So... those of us elderly who survive on Social Security are just fucked then. Right?

Elect Trump............mass deportations.........curtailment of all foreign aid......focus on domestic issues........get rid of career political bureaucrats by new term limits and executive firing...........that would be a pretty good start

Elect Trump (we can only hope)……4 years of gridlock…..another election with more of the same….nations still divided…..nothing has changed.


All this talk just attacks the symptoms. The problems are rooted much deeper in society.

Hope is a good thing to have, even if it won't change the outcome. Just ask the folks patchin the holes on the titanic. Oh wait...

Without hope there would be no attempt at change and comments like mine would simply become a self fulfilling prophecy.

I don’t have much hope. But enough to keep voting and thinking maybe things will get bad enough that people start to wake up before it’s too late.

I HOPE, Trump makes it in. And the Vance shows us what a strong, smart VP can do. So much so that he is elected for the next 2 terms. But I did fall down and hit my head last week...

That would be good. It'd take 12 years to make a difference, if it can be done.
