You read the article right? It's probably because Romney has answered the question, and is actually helping with aid work, unlike the vulture reporters/liberal shills. Your link even has a link to another article which covers Romney's answer. And look at who's following in Romney's footsteps, Obama!
President Obama has proposed cuts to the Federal Emergency Management Agency for 2013 that would reduce overall funding by about 3 percent, with $1 billion trimmed from the Disaster Relief Fund but more money given to state and local programs.

Once again Honey, he's never answered the question, since they uncovered the statement, back when Romney was running in 2008. Oh yeah, that's right, Romney has never stopped running for President. But the original statement stands, that R. made in 2008. It's a matter research, which is easily obtained. All you need is a computer, and all the lies, come back to bite R. on the Rump.

The link in the article goes to the 2011 Primary debate.

Thanks for the correction, then. But it doesn't really matter when he said, it. Romney has already said, "Whatever I said, I stand by whatever I said." So R is on record that he will dismantle FEMA and privatize it, would be even better.

I have it quoted earlier in this thread. It's in AM's link, for crying out loud.

Honey... you have reading comprehension issues. The article said nothing about what the President planned on doing with FEMA. So once again, you don't seem to have any kind of normal, human comprehensive abilities. :mad::mad::mad::011::011::011::011::011::011::011::011::011::011::011:

During a 2011 primary debate, Romney supported the idea of curtailing federal disaster response and letting states and the private sector take on a bigger role.

And besides, don't these people have anything better to do than to harass people in a disaster relief event?

Yes let's see your source.

It actually is in the article you linked Atomic. Last paragraph, last sentence it states
"President Obama has proposed cuts to the Federal Emergency Management Agency for 2013 that would reduce overall funding by about 3 percent, with $1 billion trimmed from the Disaster Relief Fund but more money given to state and local programs."

As usual you're not being honest here. A 3% reduction isn't eliminating it and sending it to the states for privatization. He's not questioning its mission as Romney is.

He never said he was going to send it to the states for privatization. He said that he would like to put the states in charge of emergencies and he believes that if the private sector would be up for the task, he would like to send it there ultimately. This is not necessarily a bad thing.

Privatization is always the ultimate goal when possible. Why? Because it eliminates government spending and creates jobs and potential business growth. I dont see it being possible to privatize this kind of thing, but it would be nice.

Romney was asked in a debate on June 13, 2011 about whether the agency should be shuttered so that states can individually take over responsibility for disaster response. He was asked specifically about turning FEMA over to the states – here was his response:

"Absolutely, every time you have an occasion to take something from the federal government and send it back to the states, that’s the right direction. And if you can go even further, and send it back to the private sector, that’s even better. Instead of thinking, in the federal budget, what we should cut, we should ask the opposite question, what should we keep?"

sounds exactly like he wants to send Federal Emergency Management Agency back to the states for eventual privatization to me. what does it sound like to you? (and what color is the sky in your world too?)

H0M is not being honest when he conflates what Romney wants to do with what Obama wants to do. It's simply a lie. But hey Romney's entire campaign is one year long lie.

As for Flopney uhhh Romney government spending does indeed create jobs contrary to rumors. I hold the recession that economists are predicting if the government goes over the fiscal cliff as proof. The layoffs that will surely occur because government spending does create jobs.

And no the goal is not the migration of public sector jobs to the private industry. I don't want to know the cop, the schoolteacher, the fireman, the police officer is in it solely for a profit for their employer's shareholders. I don't want disaster relief brought to me by Haliburton or the Koch Brothers. One day in your world I suppose there will be no borders just McDonalds, AT&T, Microsoft, IBM. There will be no countries, no boarders just resource units and profit centers.

The Money Speech
Yes, the government creates jobs. But the problem is the government is paying for those jobs with tax money. So technically, we are giving them jobs. Private sector is somebody else paying for those jobs. Also, I specifically said I dont think that privatization of emergency relief would work. It is already difficult enough to manage with just hospitals and big pharm.

He does want states to have a lot more control. And I agree, states know their communities better than the fed. He also says, with a big huge giant qualifier known as "if", that if you can privatize it, that is better. And it absolutely is. IF it can be done successfully. This statement is not in regards to just FEMA, but anything that the fed does. Do you forget that republicans want smaller federal government and larger state government?

The "somebody else" is the public. Not only that, you'll be paying for the bonuses and shareholder dividends too. How is that going to be more cost-effective? What you really need to be looking into is making the public sector more efficient rather than privatising jobs and services. That's the only way to bring the costs down.

When the economy imploded...With the states relying upon the Government most of the states economies also imploded. Here in California we've yet to have recovered from what the Bush Administration had wrought. We're still trying to dig out.Recovery is slow, which is characteristically is always the case after an economy goes south. It takes less time to destroy it, than it does to repair it. The state especially Now cannot afford to take on the type of debt that Romney expects them to. And he full well knows it. If he doesn't then he's a horse's ass. Which would not be a big fat surprise.
