This is for the smaller government people who want funding cuts instead of tax increases. In a story earlier this year about a bunch of firefighters who just watched a guy's house burn down because he didn't pay a fee, substitute all these disasters for the guy whose house burnt down but still paid  his fair share of taxes--and the guys laughing are the rich folk who won't kick in a red cent, preferring instead just to watch the guy lose everything.

The people who believe in smaller government wants your houses to flood, burn, blow away, fall, and they don't want you to seek emergency medical help if you can't pay for it. The Tea Party fiddles while Texas burns, but so do Texas lawmakers who don't want you to know that they went hat in hand to the federal government for help with their disasters.

Somebody should go to each of the "red" states who got federal disaster aid and demand that they reimburse the taxpayers who paid for that aid.
