Biden: Congress should come back to fund storm response
President Joe Biden on Thursday suggested that Congress should return to Washington early to pass more disaster aid in the wake of two major hurricanes, warning that federal emergency funds for small businesses are nearly exhausted.

FEMA spent nearly half its disaster budget in just 8 days
Eight days into the fiscal year, the federal government has spent nearly half the disaster relief that Congress has allocated for the next 12 months.

The rapid spending — which is likely to accelerate as aid flows to states pulverized by Hurricanes Helene and Milton — soon will force the Federal Emergency Management Agency to restrict spending unless Congress approves additional funding.

It appears that Democrats want to borrow more money to fund disaster relief and reconstruction. Should they?

Republicans are irresponsible. They can’t govern. They’ve failed to actually fund the govt through appropriations. Just raising the debt limit and short term CRs are damn near impossible with republicans. Dumbest folks on the planet.

I always enjoy your posts, they make me laugh. Try as I might, I just can't take you seriously.


Yes, congress should come back. Maybe they can get a link to when FEMA money was given to illegal aliens so they can enjoy their 4 star hotels while American homeless live on the streets.
