The fundamental fallacy of this argument lays in the assumption that such functions couldn’t be equally or better provided to society via non-government entities.
I expected this....later this week. Pretty irresponsible for the NYTimes to run an article like this today. When the damage is still ongoing. NY City is flooded. Fires. No power.
The fact that they are running it so early tells you Obama is in real trouble. And this is a story that was “pushed” to the NY Times by the Obama campaign. I heard the FEMA director this morning say 5-6 times, extraordinary steps that this president has already taken. A financial crisis helped to elect Obama and they are going to try and use a natural one to get him reelected.
