Not trying to be cruel but conservatives are always quick to cut programs like disaster relief. So as many on the East Coast prepare for whatever Sandy has in store, think about how prepared a Romney admistration would be to provide relief. The answer would be "absolutely" nothing.
That's what Romney told CNN's John King last year in response to a primary debate question about dismantling FEMA and handing the responsibility of emergency management over to the states.
"Every time you have an occasion to take something from the federal government and send it back to the states, that's the right direction. And if you can go even further and send it back to the private sector, that's even better."
Romney went on to say that balancing the budget shouldn't be about "what we should cut," but rather" "what should we keep." When King asked if that included disaster relief, Romney responded affirmatively.
