One Wonders How This Will Fly

Obama's Ministry of Truth is beginning to assert itself:


FEMA targets climate change skeptic governors, could withhold funding
New rules put Rick Scott, Bobby Jindal, Chris Christie, Pat McCrory, Greg Abbott in bind

This doesn't do anything to Rick Scott, and likely most of the other officials on the list.

Let's deny disaster aid to states on the basis of their belief in left wing propaganda. In Obama's world, they aren't worth saving. Republicans can have fun with this shit.

What makes you think Rick Scott would take the money? He's turned down money from Obama before and doesn't believe these disasters happen.

He's not at a loss if it's money his constituents don't need.

Disaster aid is meddlesome government intervention!

Disaster aid is paid for by money confiscated from the taxpayers. I'm quite sure there's zero in the mission statement of FEMA about the application of political litmus tests to recipients of that aid, blubber Belly.

And again, Rick Scott has turned away this money stolen from his constituents' wages on two occasions that I can name off the top of my head.

What makes you think he wouldn't turn it down again?

Its Obama pretending to have balls. I cant imagine Democrats suffering the consequences that follow such nonsense.

It's federally funded disaster aid.

If a state refuses to take steps to mitigate it's losses due to natural disasters whose effects are increased by climate change why should the government step in to help them?

It was absolutely comical to watch a Florida official dance around the term "climate change" when asked about their disaster preparedness plan that will have to include climate change by 2016.

Well now Mr. Apology, show us where this authorized by law.

You're the one screaming about it. Where does it violate the law?

This doesn't affect disaster aid after the fact. FEMA is still going to come aid those displaced by hurricanes, etc. no matter how idiotic their state governor and legislature is.

This concerns federal funds to be used in preparedness programs. FEMA has always been tasked with deciding which programs in individual states qualify for disaster preparedness money. This specific requirement has been in effect since 2012 and will be a requirement in the next preparedness report sent from each state after 2016.

If your state's disaster preparedness plans do not include provisions for the possible impact of climate change on those disasters then your preventative projects will likely not be approved for federal grant money through FEMA. Plan for the worst or use your own state's money for insufficient efforts.

Maybe Walker can deny revenues to cities that don't believe in the Second Amendment or Immigration law.

Libz never consider payback. Theyre like dogs, they think whatevers going on is gonna last forever.

 

[phrodeau]

It's simple. When California and Florida both need disaster relief from climate-change catastrophes, there will be an easy way to choose which one gets the money.

Regardless if a city believes in immigration laws, can they enforce them?

Choose the one the oranges come from! Oh . . . wait . . .

Floridians import oranges from Israel.

Thank you Mr. Apology for not providing a legal authority for a political litmus test in the distribution of taxpayer money.

Aww, nobody will play Fatass McChickenshit's strawman game.

Poor tubby widdle Marine.

 

[Ulaven_Demorte]

Thank you Mr. Apology for not providing a legal authority for a political litmus test in the distribution of taxpayer money.

You're making the claim that it violates the law in some way. Show your work.

I've already explained that this is neither a new or radical change from the way FEMA disaster preparedness funds have always been distributed.

Texas and Florida can continue to chortle about their lack of a state income tax, knowing full well that should a hurricane strike, the tax dollars of everyone else will bail them out yet again.

From the article

The policy, which goes into effect in March 2016, doesn’t affect federal money for relief after a hurricane, flood, or other natural disaster.

Typical Vietnam-era Marine, devoid of honor.

 

[Ulaven_Demorte]

The why does it require new "guidelines" then, Mr. Apology?

New guidelines for qualification for federal disaster preparedness moneys come out regularly, Mr. Moron.

The requirement that states comply with these or foot the bill for their own insufficient preparation measures is nothing new. Nor is the fact that FEMA has the final say on which projects qualify for federal grant money for implementation.

Go ahead, refuse to comply and wonder why FEMA won't give you money to piss away on poor planning.
