Humph! We should have Ron Paul as president
right now!.
Just in case nobody in America heard, Mr. Paul is repeating
himself:As Hurricane Irene rampaged up the East Coast on Sunday, Republican presidential candidate Ron Paul blasted the Federal Emergency Management Agency, which is in charge of handling the damages caused by the pounding rain, flash floods and high-speed winds.
"It's a system of bureaucratic central economic planning, which is a fallacy that is deeply flawed," the Texas congressman said on "Fox News Sunday." "FEMA has been around since 1978. It has one of the worst reputations for a bureaucracy ever."
The libertarian-minded Paul acknowledged that FEMA can't be replaced overnight, yet he claimed the agency is wasteful and funnels money to contractors instead of the victims of natural disasters.
Should FEMA need emergency funding, Paul told host Chris Wallace he would vote against additional appropriations.
I'm quickly losing all respect for this guy...
I'd like to also take issue with this comment:
FEMA has been around since 1978. It has one of the worst reputations for a bureaucracy ever.
Incorrect, sir. FEMA had a bad reputation during Dubya's administration. Why? Remember
Brownie? The career nothing who knew nothing? He ain't no
