Your rationalizing and justifying the local/state incompetance while saying the feds were too slow is just bull.

Sorry Jackv. I am not rationalizinfg anything. I have said repeatedly that the state and local governments deserve the lion's share of the blame. However, the Feds made mistakes, which need to be corrected for the good of the country.

The Feds got into NO too late. This will all come out in the lessons learned phase. FEMA may be reorganized or moved and there could be some changes in procedures, policies, etc.

Listen to the Congressmen from LA, Republican and Democrat. There is a consensus that the Feds could have done a better job initially.

The question you are NOT asking is WHY the feds got in there too late to satify you???

Not because of THEIR incomptetance but the state and locals.

That is the whole point!

Sure, they have to blame someone instead of their own politicians. Even that young man had more common sense than those politicians.

Where'd you find that 'consensus'?
