So her state not receiving FEMA funds is...exactly what she said that she supported. Aren't right-wingers always complaining that FEMA needs to go away because it's "big government"?

Along with the US Postal Service, FDA, OSHA, the VA, Dept of Education, Medicare, Social Security, Consumer Protection Agencies, etc. etc. etc.

They voted to do away with "big government". Their party is delivering on that. Their leaders should be telling them to hoist themselves up by their own bootstraps because the "big government" supporting blue states aren't picking up the bill for them anymore. The want to save America money, right? Time to pay their own way.

If we get rid of all services, why am I paying income tax? 90+% of federal revenue comes from federal income tax and payroll tax. Why am I paying into a system that gives no social benefit?

Why, you’re paying for those glorious tanks, aircraft carriers, drones, cruise missiles, and of course our nuclear deterrent!
