There once was a storm named ‘Helene’
Whose handiwork still can be seen.
Mountain folks needing aid
Got thrown gov’ment shade
‘Our FEMA cupboards are already clean.’
Democrats, progressives, Washington bureaucrats, and the media might not remember the brouhaha last October, but I do.
I recall it distinctly. As the folks in the mountains of North Carolina, Tennessee, and parts of nearby states were still trying to scrape the mud off themselves and look for missing neighbors under tons of debris from the roiling waters Hurricane Helene sent rampaging through their hollars and isolated valleys, the federal government announced the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) had no more dinero to get through the rest of the fiscal year.
These muddy, sodden, homeless fellow Americans were just going to have to wait until that got straightened out or Congress pooped…
