Romney: FEMA is immoral

[kj]

I agree with Wig. It's just poor logic to conclude that Romney is saying FEMA is immoral. If the only way to provide relief was FEMA, you might be able to make a case. Of course, FEMA is relatively new, relief is not, so I don't know how that would fly. Second, I think you have to assume the only way to provide relief is to "rack up debt", and that's clearly not true either. I'm not going to say his "plan" would work, but "FEMA is immoral" is a pretty dorky conclusion to take from what he said. He's just saying we need to provide relief without racking up debt. That part is reasonable. How about, "Romney says we can provide disaster relief without a federal bureaucracy." ? kj.
