FEMA should provide relief because that is its current mission - but FEMA should be dismantled ASAP. This country is more than $15 trillion dollars in debt and each American's share of that debt is already greater than that of the Greeks' individual share of their country's debt. Greeks have alreay been rioting in the streets for months because their government has been forced to slash government services.

Relief for victims of natural disasters should be distributed at the state level, if at all. Every government service that can be delivered by the state should be delivered by the state because it is more efficient and state elected officials are more accountable to voters. Government agencies need to be scaled back to allow charitable organizations like the Red Cross to take on the larger role that they once had. The sooner the better because we will soon not be able to afford federal agencies like FEMA.

The federal government should only be involved in proving relief to victims of natural disasters when the disaster threatens national security or when the federal government was in some way responsible for the victim's plight (such as a poorly designed interstate bridge or dam collapsing.)

So in not so many words there should not be a Federal Government Agency helping these victims? Is what your saying?
