FEMA seized control of the area from the local authorities this afternoon with no news on when they plan to give it back either..

So your complaint is what, exactly? That the local authorities can take it from here?

Yes they can. This sudden state dependence on FEMA is pathetic. Our National Guard is quite capable as are the rest of the people of this state. FEMA is just posturing to make the agency seem needed. Ron Paul is right FEMA does not know our towns and communities better than we do and it needs to get the hell out of the way and let those who know the area pick up the pieces.

+1 Unless there is some specific problem they're causing, I can't see how the presence of the agency that has frequent experience in dealing with natural disasters AND has money that locals certainly don't, is a bad thing.

Fair enough. You don't get any Federal money, either. Dependence on that cash would, after all, be equally as "pathetic", right? Get FEMA and their money the hell out of the way!

I fail to see the merit of this argument either. Where do you think that Federal money came from in the first place.......aside from being printed out of thin air by Bernanke? Pay income taxes much? Seriously, as a Vermont tax payer it is my opinion that if we had kept more of our own hard earned money rather than giving it to the federal government during the 85 years since the last major flood we would have plenty of it in our state coffers to fund the necessary repairs.

Repairs will costs in the hundreds of millions in Vermont alone. You think you'd have that lying around in your "state coffers"?

After 85 years of not giving it to the federal government yes I do since it is peanuts compared to $14 trillion the federal government has amassed in debt on which we the people pay 300 times that amount in interest alone annually.

We pay 300 x $14 trillion annually in interest?
