Are they so wealthy that one or tow burned mansions don't matter to them so they don't care if the lowly working class can't get emergency funding?
How many times has emergency funding been denied any state for natural disasters? Have any red states been refused emergency funding for flooding for those who choose to live near the water?
Why isn't the media exposing this more? The next natural disaster could come anywhere and just because it happens to a blue state doesn't mean RWingers won't get hurt and lose homes and jobs.
