Old Glory that is a very ugly and inappropriate comparison you made.
I really hope that if Romney gets elected that he does not cut FEMA. He suggested this earlier in the campaign but flip flopped with Superstorm Sandy.
Hopefully, Sandy will bring back to life real concerns in the US political system over global warming. Both parties, but especially the Republicans, are guilty of side stepping this issue during the election.
Yea, it was pretty ugly but it was illustrative. Just like the saying that the best of two evils is still evil, the best of two bads is still bad.
As far as FEMA and any other cuts, there is no way we can eliminate the deficit without everyone being adversily affected but think of how much better we could respond to catastrophies such as Hurricane Sandy if we weren't sending billions to the Chinese in interest payments.
Side stepping the issue of Sandy or global warming? Because I don't think global warming was side stepped by the Republicans. I think it was ignored and with good reason.
