It's three times harder to get disaster relief funding under the current regime if you're living in a blue state as opposed to a red state. It's not supposed to work like that. It doesn't matter who your reps are or who your governor is, you should get help if a disaster befalls you. I would not wish such a thing on my worst enemy, and yet, here we are, dealing with the fallout of a manbaby throwing a tantrum about helping fellow Americans in need.
FEMA said yes, but the manbaby said no, so it became no. And now, with the wildfires in Oregon, the senators are demanding why FEMA won't help them out. Why are we paying into a system that denies helping us when we need it?
(Although, the same could be said of our healthcare system...)
Since we can't rely on the government, it's time to look into mutual aid organizations. Donate if you can. When you hear about disasters in blue states, make sure to amplify any group that's helping, as that might be the only help that's coming.
And make your displeasure known to your representatives. They know this is wrong. Remind them that they work for us, not the other way around. It's their job to stand up against the executive branch. They're supposed to be a check, not a rubber stamp.
Jamie here: All so ridiculous! Enough said.
ReplyDeleteHe’s the worst president ever. All the blue states should withhold federal tax payments. Put them in escrow until he stops behaving like an ahole. See how well the country functions without our money!
ReplyDeleteIsn’t it funny how the states that contribute the most into the federal coffers are being denied …
