there are many things that RP believes that I don't agree with but I'll give you one simple one
FEMA
Why shouldn't the Federal Government have an agency to help deal with disasters/accidents, both natural or man made ?
Every time I hear someone who supports Ron Paul I ask them about this and they seem to not even be aware of it
Im not aware of Paul's stance on how he would handle it, but I think it would be far better to have individual states handle it, as the federal government cannot be everywhere at once, and it would probably be far more efficient to have the states handle an emergency situation than have a government program trying to be ready for all situations everywhere.
I agree if he feels FEMA is unecessary, because they are. Fuck, they cant even get people water in an emergency, what fucking good is all the money we dump into them? They have camps, with SUV's mounted with miniguns, multiple person coffins with air tight seals, and yet they cannot even get people water. FEMA isnt designed to help people, its designed to handle a mass breakdown by controlling the population and having a place to stick people and dispose of corpses.
Besides, like 333 said, FEMA was an epic fucking failure all over the place.
Federal government is always the least efficient way of handling things, and they always have the most drastic unneccessary approach that really doesnt handle much of anything.
Did you know when FEMA responded to Katrina victims, the 1st thing they did was take everyones firearms away? Before they gave them shelter, before anything, they made sure to round up the firearms. Like I said earlier, they may have an official stance that FEMA is to support people in need, but if you look at their supplies, its pretty easy to see what their primary mission is, maintaining control of the population during emergencies.
