Its because donations to the red cross go into a fund that helps all sorts of places. Now that he has a disaster in his little world he wants all funds to go directly to his mob controlled accounts.

I watched one crying New Yorker going “ this kind of thing is supposed to happen in Missouri or Florida...sob sob....NOT HERE!”

That's part of the problem with the Red Cross. When people donate to a disaster they naturally expect their money will be used where they targeted it to go. Also, the top dog at Red Cross supposedly makes $500,000 a year. That isn't charity but it almost certainly comes from donations. I agree with Romney that charitable work is best done on the local level. I never give money in cases like this but I will gladly buy canned goods, water, diapers, and blankets and donate them. Those kinds of things are harder to misappropriate (through corruption or ineptness) than cash is.

Hadn't thought of this angle. Thanks.

Sounds like George Costanza!
