Fault Lines - Hillary Clinton says FEMA was more effective during Rodham-Clinton administration

I don't want FEMA more effective; I want it gone, or at least severely circumscribed. Its powers are excessive. The agency has become an excuse for bad preparation and now subsidizes stupid risks. It has become a conduit for corruption.

Freedom starts with self-reliance, and the closer we get to that the better.

Oh to return to the halcyon days of the Rodham-Clinton Administration, when all was right with the world:

... when the most ethical Admin in history had its Assistant Attorney General indicted, convicted, and jailed

... when a high White House staffer committed 'suicide' in Ft Marcy Park and other staffers cleaned out his office before the police could search them

... when over fifty American citizens died in Waco as a result of tactics and actions of the Clinton DoJ

..... when a boy, whose mother died bringing him to the US, was returned to his biological father is a Communist dictatorship hell-hole

...when the military was deployed over forty times on peace keeping and policing missions, some of these missions still running to this day (e.g. The Balkans)

.... when the President was more concerned with getting 'serviced' in the Oval Office than with any need or issue facing the people of this country

.... and ad infinitum.

I was going to bring up Floyd but the writer beat me to it.

Never heard much about Floyd in the news at the time.

Damn right it is. More effective at covering up terrorist attacks by presenting the fictional "lone wacko" theory and the massacre at Waco...

...DOH! I thought that's what she meant by "effectiveness"! My bad.

Another way to look at it is that FEMA was more effective before Hillary was a senator. But I doubt she brought that up.

Well, since the clintons in power were an uninterrupted federal emergency, it follows that FEMA was in continuous practice. And practice makes perfect.

[Just mythoughts]

Hillry is one evil witch.

I don't think Clinton ever had to face problems like this. Clinton had it easy. So, he had nothing better to other than womanizing

[texassizednightcrawler]

What about the upper Midwest floods in early 90s. I can't even remember what FEMA did then. Also, remember Clinton's FEMA encouraged people to buy the low cost flood insurance and move to flood plans (I could be wrong..if so please correct).
