Mayorkas himself said FEMA was out of money

He said they have the money they need now. They will need more money from congrees for future disasters (if they occur).

Biden-Harris Administration Announces Nearly $715 Million to Help Communities Across the Nation Build Resilience to Flooding Disasters Through Investing in America Agenda​

​

FEMA Administrator Deanne Criswell said during Climate Week NYC that the agency will announce approximately $715 million in new project selections to eliminate or reduce flood damage supported by historic funding from the Biden-Harris Administration’s Investing in America Agenda. The funding, which comes through FEMA’s Flood Mitigation Assistance program will help communities across the nation enhance resilience to extreme weather events.


The Biden-Harris Administration has provided record funding to this program thanks to Bipartisan Infrastructure Law funding for the Flood Mitigation Assistance program. Total funding for project selections increased nearly five times from the amount available—$160 million—for the FY21grant cycle before the law. In total, funding from this legislation over five years for the Flood Mitigation Assistance program is $3.5 billion.

Also, Republicans voted against funding beforehand. So if you wanna blame someone for it, you have the your buddies there on the right.

Just one day before Hurricane Helene tore through Florida as a Category 4 hurricane, U.S. Representative Matt Gaetz of the Sunshine State was among several Republicans to vote against a stopgap measure that would continue funding the government and provide billions of dollars in extra disaster assistance.


If you are going to be a smug fucktard, you might as well do us the favor of proving that all the money was burnt through funding illegal immigrants. It has to be beyond a tweet from a random ass Republican….Good luck

They always leave out the fact that congressional republicans JUST voted to remove additional FEMA funding from the budget resolution they passed.

 

[Mr Holmes]

He said they have the money they need now. They will need more money from congrees for future disasters (if they occur).

He said they're expecting another hurricane and it doesn't have the funds to make it thru the season.

He said they're expecting another hurricane and it doesn't have the funds to make it thru the season.

So we just give them more funds if they need it.

 

[kflo]

He said they're expecting another hurricane and it doesn't have the funds to make it thru the season.

Yes. He’s noting they may need an act of congress if there’s another disaster.

What he didn’t say was that they don’t have funds for this disaster right now.

This is basic shit.

 

[Mr Holmes]

Yeah those missiles would have really helped out Asheville.

Ukraine is given economic assistance as well as military equipment.

 

[Rational Poster]

Remember when they wanted to shut down FEMA because of their concentration camps?

Now they're upset FEMA doesn't have enough funds to keep their sorry asses from drowning.

 

[Mr Holmes]

Yes. He’s noting they may need an act of congress if there’s another disaster.

What he didn’t say was that they don’t have funds for this disaster right now.

This is basic shit.

Yeah, they're meeting the "immediate needs" now. They wouldn't need more funding if the original funding was used appropriately.

This is basic shit.

Ukraine is given economic assistance as well as military equipment.

Almost all of that is coming from the EU and IMF, we provided some economic assistance very early in the war, the overwhelming majority the entire time has been military and medical equipment by a lot.

A breakdown of what's in the $95 billion foreign aid package passed by the House

A look at what's in the $95 billion package passed by the House on Saturday that will provide military aid to Ukraine and Israel, replenish U.S. weapons systems and give humanitarian assistance to civilians in Gaza.

bout $61 billion for Ukraine and replenishing U.S. weapons stockpiles. The overall amount provided to Ukraine for the purchase of weapons would be $13.8 billion. Ukraine would receive more than $9 billion of economic assistance in the form of “forgivable loans.”

This is all objectively treason. The country is run by criminals.

So... less than 1/6th of the aid being financial is supposed to be a gatcha?

Did you read what I said?

This is basic shit.

you're acting as if it's unique to have additional funding needed in a year where there is a huge disaster that requires alot of money. had this disaster not occurred, they'd likely be overfunded for the year.

any outrage at this specific issue is just playing politics.

And you're acting like its totally normal to re-purpose emergency disaster aid for a bunch of illegals that shouldn't be here. If another natural disaster happened today they wouldn't be able to act.

Any downplay of this specific issue is just playing politics.

Did you read what I said?

You said they were only getting missiles. That was false and now you're just trying to save face by saying its only $9B. I accept your concession.

Try reading this again.

Do you need me to explain it you in more simpler terms?

if another natural disaster happened they would ask congress for more money. and we'll get to see who in congress is willing to block aide. note the disaster relief fund budget is $20B. the SSP budget is $650M. the suggestion that without the SSP budget the DRF would be fine is just lying bullshit. and they know, going into the year, that the DRF budget is at risk depending on the severity of disasters for the year.

"No money is being diverted from disaster response needs. FEMA's disaster response efforts and individual assistance is funded through the Disaster Relief Fund, which is a dedicated fund for disaster efforts. Disaster Relief Fund money has not been diverted to other, non-disaster related efforts."

"The Shelter and Services Program (SSP) is a completely separate, appropriated grant program that was authorized and funded by Congress and is not associated in any way with FEMA's disaster-related authorities or funding streams."
