I read this article too and wondered how he would "privatize" emergency management and relief?
“Absolutely,” Romney said. “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?”
Easy to imagine a scenario -
"Help us! We are drowning/burning/being torn apart by a hurricane!"
"No, sorry. It has been shown that statistically there is no profit margin for helping you right now...maybe later."
Someone please explain who pays whom in a private sector emergency management and relief?
