Your Gubmint – Ever Vigilant

Denied Aid by FEMA for ‘Insufficient Damage’

Jefferson County resident Jonathan Stewart said he laughed in shock after the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) claimed the house his family lost in the deadly April 27 twister was ‘not unsafe to live in’.

Displaced families in tornado-ravaged Alabama are outraged after being denied federal aide to rebuild their flattened homes – due to ‘insufficient damage’.

The devastating reality is the house is now a concrete slab surrounded by rubble.

Tell ya what Mr FEMA Man…..YOU go live in that house you claim has ‘insufficient damage’! How utterly ridiculous! I realize there are some people who will claim damage, and not have any, or even have a house at all to claim on, but when you go, and look at the place, with your own two gubmint eyes, don’t you think a little common sense should be in order??

Let me ask….just how much extra does it cost for the people who received such a letter, even after the damage has been seen, personally, but FEMA workers, to appeal such an absurd decision. Who the hell hires these people? Oh yeah….your federal gubmint! I’d say we’ve been wasting a boatload of money on incompetents! We spend BILLIONS on giving aid to countries that hate us, yet we can’t help our own when they really need it? Does anyone else have a problem with this???

    Sounds like they have attempted ‘Fraud’; but, it will be interesting when the SWAT people try to bust in through their front door and arrest the Father.

    Oh, well, this just bolsters my confidence in the prospect of a national centrally-administered health care system to no end.  

    “Leukemia?  Pfft. That’s livable. Benefits denied.”

    Kind of like you mix anything with sewage, you get sewage:  You mix anything with our Federal bureaucracy and you get outrageous failure.

    May I assume that the unfortunate Mr. Stewart is a Republican?

    Bob, that would be my first guess, but then again, they are the wrong color too.  sigh…
