Florida is the 4th most populous state. Its also very powerful politically because a lot of older people live here that get out and vote.
Its one of the most important agricultural states also. Florida's great year round weather enables its farms to produce a lot of the nation's fruits and vegatables and other food. Its extremely important to the travel industry since not only do 1 out of every 4 Americans visit Florida each year, as well as being a major crusie departure point, but its the primary hub to the import export industry to South America.
Its a leading state for research, technology, and hosts the south eastern US NAP point for the Net.
The GDP for Florida is 1/2 a Trillion dollars. So its a major provider of tax revenue to the Federal government.
So bottom line Florida is one of the nation's most important states.

From my experience, (one persons point of view), FEMA was
very effective during the Mississippi river floods in St. Louis in the early 90s.
They provided emergency vouchers for Motel rooms and Grocery
stores for people who were made homeless. They did a good job
of meeting the immediate emergence needs of those who needed it.
After the waters receded, they were there to assess damage to property. Affected people were given vouchers to replace clothing, bedding, furniture, mattresses, etc...
Vouchers and grants were given to repair homes, and clean up the mess. They even bought many of the non-repairable homes
in certain flood plains.
All of these vouchers and grants cost money...the goods have to
be paid for.
I think that in that case FEMA was very effective. I would think
that they will be effecttive in Florida too.Comment

Bullshit. People find themselves in need of help due to circumstances beyond their control everyday, whether its from a natural disaster, health crisis, or anything else unforeseen.

A starving kid does not cause 10's of Billions of losses to the economy (and then of course many times more starving kids). Hurricanes do. Do you need a diagram to show the cause and effect relationships and how they affect the entire nation (and children) or do you wanna roll the dice again spend the next couple hours coming up with another stupid, short sighted, 1/2 communist remark that is not rooted in reality so i can make fun of you?Last edited by Pleasurepays; 09-15-2004, 08:47 AM.Comment

There ya go with the 'communist' remark. I knew you couldnt resist. Admit it, you're a fucking hypocrite. Your inability to decipher information is a marvel of nature, so let me help you out.
People from the south are predominately Republican. The Republican attitude is 'everyone should take care of themselves', 'I don't want my tax money bailing people out of hard times'. Yet the southern states gets more economic aid than any other part of country due to natural disasters. Bottom line is you don't want your tax money going to helping people until its you who needs it.Comment

Who said I care if you die in a hurricane? With your comprehension skills and being from Florida, I can see how Bush got into office. You probably voted 6 or 7 times for him yourself without even being able to read the ballot.Originally posted by GatorB

FEMA does make some ridiculous judgment calls.
When my big house in LA got nailed in the '94 earthquake a FEMA rep, out of the blue, came knocking on our door. I told him right away I wouldn't be eliglble for federal assistance, nor would I need it, even though our house was thrashed, since I was obviously wealthy.
He was adament that regardless of the money I had, the government would still be obligated and eager to assist anyone who incurred major damage from the quake. So I said ok if you say so. Next thing I know I got a big check from FEMA. I tried calling someone in charge to send it back but they all said the same thing.
Crazy.

Maybe you should look at a map and take some weather courses. No hurricanes have ever hit Oregon or Washington and I doubt Illinois. Not very bright, are ya.Comment
