You'd be arguing against the creation and the existence of FEMA then. Most states need to have a pretty tight budget. They can't have a rainy day fund for a "Katrina". That would be like having enough money in reserve to rebuild the entire city and levee system. Most states do not borrow money either. Therefor that's why the federal government is better suited for disaster response, because the burden of disaster can be spread over more people. When someone is in need, whether its because of a terrorist act or a natural disaster, the only entity capable of responding is the Federal government. This is why FEMA and Homeland Security were merged. Key to intelligent thinking on the subject of funding recoveries, is thinking about the cost of not funding a recovery. Imagine no federal assistance in cleaning up 9-11. It's unthinkable for a terrorist act or a natural disaster. What Bush and FEMA have let happen in New Orleans is a travesty. We saw Bush come on TV and talk big...but so far no action. Plenty of wasted dollars and inefficient use of limited funds. A disaster followed by another disaster...the Bush no-response. Orca
