FEMA is about broke, so they're cutting off projects to repair the Joplin, MO tornado disaster damage, in order to keep enough money on hand for the Irene victims. And at that they say they will be broke by September 30 unless congress gives them funding. . .

The Federal Disaster Relief Fund, the pot of money used to help communities and individuals hit by disasters, is nearly depleted. That's bad news for victims of both Hurricane Irene and other disasters like the tornadoes that hit earlier this year.
Federal Emergency Management Agency Administrator Craig Fugate said Monday that the agency's fund has fallen to less than $800 million. With less that $1 billion on hand, the agency is only authorized to pay for emergency repairs. That means that long-term projects, like rebuilding roads, schools and other damaged structures in the tornado-ravaged southeastern states and Joplin, Mo., will have to wait.

While individuals eligible for assistance from those earlier storms will continue to get their checks, FEMA will put other spending on hold in order to have enough cash on hand for new emergencies like Hurricane Irene.
Fugate said he hopes to resume funding those long-term projects at some point, but that Congress will have to appropriate additional funds for the fiscal year ending Sept. 30 in order to do so.
He added that he's not even sure that the disaster fund has enough money to cover all the costs that will be associated with Hurricane Irene, which caused flooding and other damage in a heavily-populated area stretching from North Carolina to Vermont over the weekend.
"Don't know," he responded when asked if there was enough money to cover the latest storm damage. "What we've been working on will take care of quite a few folks. But as I testified back earlier this year...if we had any significant disasters between now and the end of the fiscal year, it would likely require additional funds.". . .

The thing that chaps my ass is that the people of the south that were devastated by the tornado outbreaks and floods this year, will now have to wait until congress gets off its dead ass to refund FEMA, in order to receive the funding necessary to restore infrastructure damaged or destroyed in the events.

And unless congress acts, and fast, the victims of Irene will be in the same situation in short order.

These people do NOT have time for political posturing!!  :mad: :mad: :mad:

...instead of that uppity negro; huh?
Arguing with Christians is like playing chess with a pigeon.  No matter how good I am at chess, the pigeon is just going to knock over the pieces, shit on the board and strut around like it's victorious.

The truth is slow, but relentless. Over time it becomes irresistible.
