They are going to push back and treat the theocratic mentality and have a vision because otherwise theres the cognitive dissonance that prevents the advancement of the ideas that can happen this laboratory in america. Take your medical and now to step further in europe for two trading symptoms instead of addressing the root cause. I assume you could analogize this to a misdiagnosis. In this instance that we missed a diagnosis as a malady that has brought about as a result of poverty and the result of lack of Educational Opportunities or a Career Opportunity what might we mess . We would miss the fact that the prisoners in saudi arabia and syria are fighting not for poverty against poverty. They are fighting for freedom and for liberty and in this Great Society we can even recognize the voices, the descendents voices but if you look in the cold wars being told that their voices dont matter at all that matters is the economic plight and in the meantime marker from the cold war would cozy

In 1989 to 80 during Hurricane Sandy in 2012. In recent years, significant disaster aid was provided outside the fema Disaster Assistance programs. These charts show how aid programs outside fema have grown. In fact, for Hurricane Sandy, there was less fema assistance from the department of housing and urban development or the department of transportation. We found these additional disaster aid programs dont have the same requirements and restrictions as the fema assistance.

Fema mitigation funds must be used on cost and official projects to ensure the federal investment is a wise one. Fema makes every effort to get money in the hands of applicants as fast as possible to enable rapid recovery from disaster impacts. From the sandy
The 114th congress, i stated that my top Emergency Management priority was pursuing life saving and cost reducing disaster legislation and launching a Public Policy debate about the costs of disasters in terms of both the loss of property and human life.

Everyones information there will not be endorsements from the panelists today one important thing i want to clear up because i think it is important for context of this discussion is that the impression you have in organizations in working on this because in washington d. C. People say on the 6 00 news on the sunday talk shows where is the compromise . Where are the people in the middle that can split the baby and come up with legislation . I think that youre going to hear loud and clear from us but is this about compromise or is this about working towards shared values of principled people on both the left and the rig right . All the reasonable people thought this was the way to respond to everything. Left right coalitions and criminal Justice Reform have been successful. Work because curved led so if they led the same fight it wouldnt work. Im not sure i trust everybody but on a right Left Coalition there is no compromise on principles. We are working to do the same thing perhaps for
