2011
In response to the deadliest spring of climate disasters in decades, House Republicans are slashing billions from disaster preparedness programs, including support for firefighters. On Tuesday, the House Appropriations Committee cut the successful Department of Energy clean car manufacturing loan program by $1.5 billion to add $1 billion to disaster relief. But they also slashed other parts of the Federal Emergency Management Agency and Homeland Security budget, including cuts of $1.5 billion from President Obamas request for next year in firefighter assistance grants and state and local grants administered by FEMA.

when the republicans cut taxes for the top couple percent that have 80% of the money it leaves less funds for FEMA or other emergency funds, the rich buy insurance or rebuild without any help, so screw the majority by cutting and paying less taxes.
Greed rules the day, the most aggressive ruthless people could care less about others, that's how they became so rich! Almost everyone in congress are millionaires meaning they are cutting taxes for themselves.
