CNN’s Candy Crowley asks Ron Paul in this short video about using Federal Money to help the victims of tornados in the Midwest. She becomes frustrated by his answer, and he attacks her premise and tells her there is no such thing as Federal Money.
I wish more people could understand this concept. The Government can only hand the candy out after they snatch the candy from another.
I especially like how Paul talks about the problems FEMA causes in the areas they show up to help.

He’s absolutely right. If you want to live in an area like this, buy insurance. If you can’t afford insurance, don’t live there. Can’t afford to move? Well, can you afford to rebuild your house? If you live in a tornado-prone area and have a mortgage, why don’t you have to have insurance for this?
paul is such a card and i love his honesty
FEMA has really done nothing but add layers of political and bureaucratic inertia (not to mention inefficiencies) to disaster response.
Writer Jerry Pournelle – who has plenty of experience in civil government – has written much about how local, state, and regional disaster management have done (and can do) much more effective work in handling natural emergencies, and he’s right.
The model Pournelle has proposed is the old Civil Defense system that arose out of World War Two and the Cold War decades, which provided the framework for more effective localized coordination of disaster response before the federal clowns took it over and started screwing up by the numbers.
The more remote – both geographically and politically – the management becomes, the less useful will be the development and utilization of resources to handle the consequences of tornadoes, hurricanes, earthquakes, fires, and other expected but unpredictable problems.
That only makes sense. How could anybody expect anything genuinely useful out of any cluster of inside-the-Beltway career political hacks and federal thugs?
and to think that there are so many people out there that think Ron crazy, yea like a fox! RON PAUL 2012 Hope for America people need to think about what the other D.C. criminals are doing. they do not care about America. stop kidding yourselves.
All FEMA is good for is providing the bureaucrats that work for FEMA jobs paid for by the taxpayers, Abolish FEMA and more money would be available for families to purchase insurance because that would be one more bureaucrocy that would not have to be paid for by the taxpayers. Many other bureaucrocies should also be abolished as well which would also lesson the burdon on the taxpayers and put even more money back into their pockets. Ron Paul is absolutely correct, A smaller much more effecient government is what our nation truly needs. Our Government in it’s current form is way too big and way too expensive for our nations own good.
