"SNIP.........

President Trump plans to have a “whole big discussion very shortly” on the Federal Emergency Management Agency because he’d “rather see the states take care of their own problems,” Axios reports.

Said Trump: “FEMA is a whole ‘nother discussion because all it does is complicate everything… FEMA has not done their job for the last four years.”

4. Total Inefficiency to duplicate FEMA 50 times and PAY for it locally

This is like an insurer walking away when the claim is filed. Privatizing risk and cost. Total abrogation of the social compact, the United States, E Pluribus Unum. This is un-American.
