We, of course, assume that FEMA's purpose is to save people during emergencies. What if it has ulterior motives, such as making people feel like the federal government needs more power.
In that case, wouldn't sitting back and letting NO reach crisis-levels before acting make sense?
Bush says at
CNN:
quote:
"It is now clear that a challenge on this scale requires greater federal authority," he said, "and a broader role for the armed forces -- the institution of our government most capable of massive logistical operations on a moment's notice."
Just a thought. Maybe things make more sense if you assume the federal government is out to hurt/overrun the people instead save them.
AbE: And demolish the Constitution at every turn.
