Good luck Red States, FEMA may be going away as well

Because we have an incoming admin that has outwardly said it’s seeking vengeance?
Because you touch yourself.
And he was rightfully worried that Trump would be on a vengeance campaign.
And no, I don't think the pardons should have happened. However, I'm not dumb enough to continue asking a question repeatedly to which the answer is clear.
Cuz the fed never gave states disaster money before FEMA? Not a bad thing to eliminate a bureaucracy that costs money waiting for something to happen. It doesn't stop the fed from helping
What would the poor folks in NC have done without all this gubbamunt 'help'? Not all heroes wear capes, it seems.
Here's the truth to clean up Chis's lie >

Trump warns FEMA faces a reckoning after Biden admin: 'Not done their job'
President Donald Trump warned FEMA is set to face reckoning for not doing its job for four years under the Biden administration, he said in an exclusive interview with Sean Hannity.
Democrats don’t care about North Carolina. Just absolutely absurd.
I’m sure Cali could keep the billions of dollars they pay to the Federal government that gets redistributed to places like North Carolina.
The lies and disinformation which is the entire GOP platform besides keeping Trump out of jail worked brilliantly.
Trump could destroy everything and you would defend it.
How about this, he said he wasn't going to do Project 2025, so far he is knocking them off 1 by 1. He doesn't get elected if he says he is going to gut the VA, eliminate Fema, back out of WHO, and follow the rest of the 2025 plan. So is he a habitual liar, a fraud? What say you GolfHacker?
Looks like I have to add in all research axed at NIH.
You just made the list, Pal.
The reason this is a BIG PROBLEM has already been stated above. Do you think that Donald Trump alone should be in charge of handing out emergency funding after a national disaster, alone? This man, who acts like a spiteful 7th grade girl, who has talked about not helping blue states, should be solely in charge of deciding who gets what and how much? Please tell you don't believe this. Because that would be authoritarian.
JFC $28 an hour for 30 workers to throw a log in a pile. That's how the dimrats do it.
What about it? I’ve largely agreed with all of this long before Donald Trump entered the picture. I’m a combat veteran so at some point I’ll be able to speak factually as to whether there is a noticeable decrease in healthcare.
The difference between people that operate where you operate and myself is that you are unable to separate your opinion from fact, and often post your opinion as fact.
FWIW, I disagree with many of Trump’s spending priorities. He’s entirely too liberal for my preference. I suspect you eat up whatever it is your partisan side tells you via television. Another not unimportant difference between your level and my level.
My use of the word level isn’t derogatory, it is a clear delineation based on your posts.

Ok, how about this, VA care has finally gotten back up to a reasonable standard and now they are axing professionals. There is statements, that they were hiring a position already short, and now forced to let go of 2 other individuals. They are already stating there is no way they will be able to provide the care necessary. As you being a combat veteran, you should know know and understand this. How it could affect you, how it could affect other veterans. But please go on and lecture me telling me how you have largely agreed with this and think this is the proper way to go. That is BS. I could tell you 1000 times over, if Trump said he was going to axe the VA or medicare or medicaid, he doesn't get elected, period end of story. I don't need to guess, I know the outcome as do you. So it is not hard to predict the future when you make a statement 95% of people agree with that the VA should provide good care to our veterans. Cutting the department drastically - A was not something you campaigned on B contradicts the statement we should provide good care.

Your first sentence is factually inaccurate.
Why should I even read further? So how easy that is for me?
Guess you are wrong. But who would have guessed that. So you claim the first line was inaccurate (lie) then ignore the rest. That is the par for the course for you republicans. Are you really just Don Jr. posting on Hawkeyereport?
Yes, according to recent reports, VA care has significantly improved over time, with data showing that the VA is now delivering more care and benefits to more veterans than ever before, largely due to initiatives like the PACT Act, which has expanded access to healthcare for veterans exposed to toxic substances; this includes shorter wait times, increased quality of care, and higher patient satisfaction compared to previous years.
Actually I did not respond to the OP. That is factual. I prefer a fact based world.

This was his approach with Covid supplies.
If the Governor of a State complimented him, he pledged help. If not...like the Washington State Governor didn't kiss his ass, he threatened to withhold items.
In no world is it a good idea to have Presidential influence involved here.
There is no point, you don't want to deal with facts. Either ignore them, lie, or deflect to something else.
Good news as FEMA has a history of bypassing properties owned by Republicans.
The PACT Act, which I agree with, slowed down medical care. It's just supply and demand. Again, your first sentence, notwithstanding what the VA study claims, is inaccurate. The VA inspector general ripped that report.
It appears you Google searched PACT Act becuase that is what shows up when I Google it. The Act has also slowed down the presumptive disabilities.
I'm not going to argue with someone that has no argument other than generalities and what they read in headlines.
I'm guessing, I don't know, there are VAMCIC employees that post on here. Their input I might consider. But again, I have conversations with VA Administrators and employees all the time, and I'm PACT Act eligible as far as presumptive disabilities. I haven't claimed any, and I won't, but I am eligible and I spoke several US Senator and US Reps when this was being debated. As I also have about other issues. I even have several Democrat State Reps and Senators reach out to me on a regular basis and one Democratic US Rep.
Post whatever you want, I defend your right to do that. I'm not a smart person, but I'm start enough to know what I don't know. Which is very likely two contradictory statements.
You are obviously not a smart person. Several surveys of Veterans have said their wait times and healthcare has improved. So are you just a dunce?
Veteran trust and approval is up 25% since 2016 and is at an all time high. Has increased from a low of 55% to 80.5%.
Please continue to lie. End of debate.
In other words... bury your head in the sand, again, on these issues. That's the lemming's MO.
He bring up a bunch BS, says reports are not factual, tries to divert to something else and will not acknowledge actual surveys and reports of veterans. How else do you deal with a dunce like GolfHacker. In his mind does he really think eliminating workers in the VA is going to improve care? How does that even compute. It is a simple 2+2 equation. In his mind it equals 1.
Exactly, you cant argue with other veterans. Glad you agreed. Took you long enough.
Did your Google search revel the VA IG's report yet? You're not a serious person.
I have 6 family members that are veterans, they have all stated their care has substantially improved in the last 4-6 years. I stand by the satisfaction survey of veterans that increased from 55% to 80.5%.
Please answer - If you decrease workers in the VA it will decrease quality of care? Yes or No
As to the inspector general, that is just like the DIA in Iowa investigating nursing homes and hospitals. They can still find individual issues across the board. It does not negate care has improved over time. And also those reports will increase with moratorium on hiring and letting go of personnel. Being a previous nursing home administrator, pretty sure I have a better handle on these type of reports than you.

Golfhacker - lets get into story time. Back when I was a nursing home administrator, most of the homes I worked with wanted to give the least amount of hours ppd - required to create the highest margin (they thought). I basically went through a presentation stating we need to increase our hours, provide better care, and thus increase the number of skilled patients and the number of patients in the home. Up through 2016, skilled patients was the only place where you made money. The other issue I notices was that my employee base was primarily 40 to 60 years old. Low and behold, my bosses bought into my strategy and gave me a shot at proving my plan. I had a heck of a 10 year run, 5 star facilities and making a lot of money. Needless to say Medicare came out and substantially decreased the payments on skilled patients (like cut it in half) - meaning your primary area of profit on skilled was gone. Your only other profit driver was Private pay. When you do that, those management companies will want to go back to their bare minimum staffing and jack up the private pay rates. The good employees either retired or left because there is ample opportunities and you are left with the crap employees and poor quality of care and your deficiencies goes up on annual reports, and dramatically more complaint surveys. You think I can see the future. I can't see the future, but I knew damn well what was going to happen to long term care in Iowa. It has gone in the shitter big time. I left before the shit hit the fan.
Equally, I know you want to disagree, but many veterans believe their care has improved. If Trump and others are going to cut the amount of workforce providing care, inevitable care will retreat back to the 2016 levels. This isn't a difficult concept (well maybe it is for you). I have been out of the field for a decade, several of my employees have passed on. 1 just passed away from cancer in her 50's. Your concepts on healthcare appear to be extremely limited and biased.
